[infra][tc][trove] Freeing the reddwarf project on PyPI
I've received a request from a representative of The Computational Democracy Project (pol.is) who have a project named red-dwarf and would like to release software to PyPI under that name. For those of you who have been around long enough to remember, the Trove project was called Red Dwarf during incubation, but was renamed roughly 12 years ago owing to trademark concerns. The https://pypi.org/p/reddwarf project was reserved but no release files were uploaded to it. I don't expect our community has any reason to continue holding onto that name as I don't see that we would ever actually use it, but I'm posting this for the sake of transparency. Does anyone object to letting go of the reddwarf project on PyPI so that it can be reused by another open source community effort? -- Jeremy Stanley

Correction: the request is from a maintainer of the red-dwarf project in the Polis Community Working Group, which extends (but is not officially affiliated with) Polis itself. https://github.com/polis-community Though that doesn't really change the gist of my message. If nobody objects in the next week, I'll move forward with the ownership transfer process. Thanks! -- Jeremy Stanley
