How do you suggest it should've been used in this case? As a PyPI username (obviously pointless), or what?



Good question. I'm not familiar with what fields might be be collected on the PyPi backend. But the email address field alone could be enough, if you set up a wildcard DNS and made your account email something@[uuid].mydomain.com, and looked for any http traffic to that subdomain.


Or run your own authorative DNS for example.com (or a subdomain used for this) and track queries on those UUID.
