This was discussed on distutils-sig back in May 2015. The thread
starts here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2015-May/026327.html.
One of the actions in the final proposal
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2015-May/026381.html)
included a step to contact projects that were using pythonhosted.org.
Did you not get any contact?

It might be worth picking this up on distutils-sig, as that's where
the original discussion occurred. I've copied this reply to there, and
suggest followups go to that list.
