My point about this: if a person does not want to host its package on PyPi than it should stay away from PyPI.
The Python Package Index was originally just that: a package *INDEX*, aiming to be a complete index. It did not originate the idea of such an index, but has pretty much superseded previous 'unofficial' efforts.
Now you want to censor it to meet *your* needs, to only list packages that *you* are interested in.
If I remember correctly, the Cheeseshop/PyPI was originally *just* an index. The hosting-repository service was added later -- as a convenience firstly to authors. I now believe that the repository should have been and should be kept separate, as the Python Package Repository -- PyPaR. Then repository issues would be clearly separate from index issues.
