The whole world.

Let's take this again: If you make it more complicated and have more
requirements that has to be fulfilled before you can register a
package on PyPI, LESS PACKAGES WILL BE REGISTERED.

Again, requiring that you also upload files will not mean that
everyone uploads their packages, but it will mean less packages get
registered.

Is this unclear?
