This is open source. I volunteer my time on the projects that I
maintain. If you don't like the quality or lack of documentations,
tests, etc. Contribute. Or just don't use the software.
What maybe another option is to have a karma rating on PYPI. Maybe
based off of home much you are included in other packages or some
other factors.

..how much..
(nice to know I'm not the only one that does that :)
I find that a useful idea. A good concept for "retro grading".
============================================
Whenever I run a team I make it a practice to never make the others do
something I won't. I do ask for volunteers to do things I cannot.
Lets start with - what's done is done. (What is out there is there.)
If you think I'm somehow able to take a look at a plain piece of code
you posted yesterday and know that it was written 26 years ago on a CP/M
2.0 dual HD DS 8" floppy drive system using Microsoft Assembly for the
Z80 chip, intended as a generic print driver for the IBM Seletric
converted to operate with computers of the day - you have an unrealistic
esteem of my abilities.
If you won't make the request to those supplying things you maintain - I
have an unrealistic esteem of your efforts in protecting Open Source and
its use by others.
Fair enough?
Everyone OK?
If ever you are in Sacramento, CA; E-me a note. There is a pub down the
way from where I work. I'll buy you a pint. While there, perhaps we
could write that crawler that collects for the "retro grading".
