Free-form, user-generated content on PyPI would become a pathway for
harassment and abuse. Introducing user-generated content on PyPI would
necessarily put an emotional burden on package maintainers in addition to
the maintenance burden (unless PyPI moderators are going to screen content
before maintainers and users see it—given the dearth of resources for PyPI
as it is, this strikes me as exceedingly unlikely).
