New submission from Benoît Bryon <ben...@marmelune.net>:

Scope:

* Python documentation lacks conventions, or at least guidelines,
  to choose a name for a package.

* Python has tools to create and distribute packages.
  Not covered by this issue.

* Python has tools to create namespace packages.
  Not covered by this issue.

* Python has conventions about "syntax" of module names in PEP 8.
  Not covered by this issue.

Goal: add guidelines+conventions about package names in Doc/packaging/
