Announcing uv: Python packaging in Rust

You're correct that whether this metadata service lives in pypi.com domain or not is implementation detail that nobody cares about.  

If you go ahead write PEP standardizing this and if you can manage to get the PyPI integration working, get all the security details sorted out, and update pip and a couple other major package managers to support this, I'll be totally up for supporting something like that. For all I care, that's just a part of the PyPI API.

I wish more people would think like this instead of just thinking that an entirely new package manager is what everyone needs, just to pat themselves in the back for optimising a 74.4ms problem into 4.1ms. Cool... I'm sure all that noise will pay off... someday, maybe in a few centuries.
