Interesting. Good evidence that the "first come first served, and then you get to keep it forever" is not ideal. As someone pointed out in the other thread, we probably don't want to change policy on existing packages, but maybe it would be good to get *some* policy in place for when warehouse goes live. -CHB On Tue, Apr 19, 2016 at 2:52 PM, Christopher Wilcox <python@crwilcox.com> wrote:

I was searching warehouse for all Microsoft owned packages today and came across a certain user that seems to have parked on a few different package names that I don’t believe he has any intention of using (@rodmena). https://warehouse.python.org/user/rodmena/
Can we get these released to the proper owners? He seems to have done this rather broadly.
If possible can the user @Microsoft be marked as the owner of the Microsoft package?
Thanks! Chris Wilcox
