Thanks for the vouch, we are indeed both current Microsoft employees. I stopped using my work email for Python stuff when our server started corrupting URLs to add a phishing/malware filter.

Feel free to email the python@microsoft.com address attached to the Microsoft user and I'll reply to you.

Cheers,
Steve

I’m 100% sure Steve is a Microsoft employee and I’m like 95% sure Christopher is too :)

Just to be clear, are you the user "Microsoft"? You're not posting from a @microsoft.com email domain, is all. Or are you just a "concerned citizen"? Because in the case of the latter there's really nothing for me to do here without a request from someone actually wanting to do something with the name.

DistUtils-Sig:

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
