In theory yes, in real life no - I approached several package
maintainers in the past due to several reasons..some agree with the
complaints, others just don't care. Some consider PyPI as their own
private repository with their own rules and no need to care about the
community e.g. by providing proper metadata (I call this anti-social and
PyPI-misuse).
