As someone also in the top percentile of package maintainers I understand your annoyance, but just make a filter for donald at python.org for the day or something. The vast majority of PyPI users have only one package so asking us to derail the sending (probably resulting in having to begin again) is unhelpful. If the only cost to us all is hitting Ctrl-A Delete, I welcome progress with open arms.
