Unnecessary what exactly? On my packages' PyPI pages, I want to have 
"Package Index Owner: pfalcon", and on other packages' pages, I don't
want to have "pfalcon" (and want to have another specific username).
Having it otherwise would be misrepresentation of package origin.

If "single account" can do that (that would be a surprise), I'd
appreciate a link to materials I can read up on the matter.
