Good news!
New York University -- specifically Professor Justin Cappos -- and I have successfully asked the US National Science Foundation for a grant to improve Python packaging security. The NSF is awarding NYU $800,000 over two years -- from mid-2021 to mid-2023 -- to further improve the pip dependency resolver and to integrate The Update Framework further into the packaging toolchain.

For what we're planning to do, what this means in the short term, an explanation of why NYU and the NSF are involved, and thank-yous, please see https://discuss.python.org/t/new-packaging-security-funding-nyu/7792 .
