Warehouse: How to contact a maintainer

Created on 6 Aug 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: pypa/warehouse

What's the problem this feature will solve?
I see a package written by me on PyPI and would like to reach out to the maintainer who uploaded it, how can I do that? Via the, correctly stated, author email I get user requests for updating the PyPI project page.

Describe the solution you'd like
As a logged in user with a verified email address, I'd like a way to send a message to another user (in my special case that other user is a maintainer) that has a verified email address but opted-out from showing it publicly.

Additional context
I've searched and it seems that the maintainer email is available through some API.
I've also looked through the FAQ section without finding a solution.

Maintainers may also choose to post their email addresses. If:

  • The maintainer has a verified email address; and
  • The maintainer has opted-in to displaying an email address; and
  • You are logged in to PyPI

Then, when you click the link to a user profile under the "Maintainers" header in the left sidebar, you will see an email address.

For example, the maintainer The_Compiler of pytest displays an email address on their profile.

If the author has provided an email, that is available in the "Meta" section of the "Project Description" in the left sidebar.

See https://pypi.org/project/sampleproject/ for example.

Yes, but it is the Maintainer (which I assume is the owner of the PyPI project page) I would like to reach, the author email in this case goes to me ;-)

@jamadden @pradyunsg Thank you both for your clear explanations with example links.
I have updated the original post to reflect the new things I have learnt.

In my specific case, there are broken links on the PyPI package page and support requests are landing in the author email box.

Thanks for the feature request! Closing as a duplicate of https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/933.
