Hi all,

I know it's been debated here whether there should be some kind of filtering
on uploaded packages on PyPI, but today someone, either an automated tool or a
silly guy, started to upload dozens of "Xxx 0.1.0" where "Xxx" is some
"surname", here is latest variant: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Lykov/0.1.0

Is there something that can/should be done to stop it?

Thank you,
ciao, lele.
