I know pypi is a bit more responsive to issues (having seen it happen, and seen on irc how the people think about things). on the rest I haven't really been close to things for a little while because reasons

android/dart seems to give me "google or someone will intervene" vibes. not sure about the wider maven ecosystem. the mental image of trying to deal with this particular problem in their usual suggested flows (which is extremely "click here and here in these 5 menus. we'll only mention the places by name, fuck you getting circles or screenshots.") strikes me as though it may cause a hundred million wails crying out at once
