Is something going to change wrt accepting new stubs in TypeShed (see
https://github.com/python/typeshed/issues/2440) and requiring approval from
package owners (
https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#the-contribut...
).

Or I guess another way to phrase the question is if someone created a
site like DefinitelyTyped where things were highly automated and anyone could provide type stubs for any project on PyPI -- and maybe even automated initial type stubs -- would people be interested in such a thing or see any reasons why people would balk at it or not use it?
It's just time and resources. Work on this has already started in the third-party-dist branch in the typeshed repository, but the main blocker in my opinion is the lack of support for namespaces in pypi/warehouse.
Also IIUC Jukka (cc'ed) is going to spend a week or two early November working 100% on kick-starting the transformation of typeshed to a more modular model.
