Done.

I'm still left with the feeling, though, that this function
is a good example for a mismatch in its intent as expressed
in the function name, "get package releases" (note the plural
form), and the default value for its "show_hidden" parameter
(False).

In fact, this, too, would benefit from a couple of docstrings.
