Spreading awareness of PEP 752

[ofek]

Hello team! I just wanted to bring to your attention a new PEP about package repository namespaces where I used your packages/community as a motivating example 🙂

We would love your feedback in the current discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-752-package-repository-namespaces/61227

(I didn't know where else to communicate this news so feel free to move or direct me somewhere else)

Thanks for pinging us! I added some context on Jupyter packages.

When JupyterLab moved extension manager from npm to PyPI we lost two things:

• a) "approved" status which previously was derived from an allow-list of NPM organizations (Extension manager in 4.0: missing approved extensions implementation jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14508)
• b) sorting by popularity/"quality"

It looks like the linked proposal would enable to restore (a), however I think we could have it by simply getting a lightweight API endpoint allowing to list all packages published by Jupyter organization on PyPI.
