Sure! There is no censorship applied in PyPI, except for content
completely unrelated to Python.

The only exception is when the package owner is unresponsive,
and somebody else wants to take over the package. We need some
procedure to formalize this case.

If you are going to formalize such procedures, it may also be worth thinking about the case of someone uploading code that they do not have rights to. It's not very likely, but the response often must be swift, at least in some jurisdictions. The potential for mirrors, and thus the need for coordinated action, makes it even more important to formalize a procedure, IMO.
