Its already socially encouraged: heck, if package foo is not on PyPI, it
doesn't exist.

As an author who hosts code elsewhere, I really want to get feedback on
my packages. I don't really see the point of having a comment system in
PyPI ((*for me*), but I would really like to be able to have a link to
the appropriate web page for folk that want to ask questions. To be
clear, I mean a specific link, not just the 'link to a website'.
