Interesting

Except:

...If you are checking on a PyPI package, and not a local directory or 
local package, pyroma will check the number of owners the package has on 
PyPI. It should be three or more, to minimize the "Bus factor", the risk 
of the index owners suddenly going off-line for whatever reason...

In reality, most companies/org use a single account on PyPI so you can't 
tell how many developers are behind - so this check seems unpractical.

Note that I added a similar thing in python's distutils: the check command.

That reminds me of the CheeseCake btw : http://pycheesecake.org/
