This is why I basically said I'm OK with automatic deletion after a time if there are no downloadable packages and no contact information. Otherwise the owner should be contacted.
Some people are saying "files uploaded" vs. "downloadable packages". I don't like the "files uploaded" criterion because IMO it's a perfectly valid use case to list a package on PyPI which is only available via external revision control. Heck, a project that only has planning documents and a reasonably active mailing list should still qualify for PyPI listing, else the original distutils-sig would not have qualified for reserving the name "distutils" on PyPI, before its first release. ;-)
