I believe you can change it by asking catalog-sig at . I remember the  
MoinMoin project doing the same a while ago.

Message-ID: <4A5BF976.8030804@voidspace.org.uk>

Hello all,

In a fit of madness years ago I registered the configobj project with 
the PyPI name of ConfigObj. It would be much pleasanter if this could 
changed to configobj. Could someone with the necessary 
knowledge/capability make this change - or is there a way I can do it 
myself?

All the best,

Michael Foord

Subject: [Catalog-sig] META description for pypi packages

Searching for a package in pypi in Google shows:

extensible programming language. It provides an extraordinary combination  
of clarity and ...

The same META tag is used for pypi package pages too? Shouldn't we change  
it to setup.py:description?
