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.

If a listed package is not available (because an external server is
down) the index is broken.

If a package has files on pypi, there is an html table with these headers

File    Type    Py Version      Uploaded on     Size    # downloads

If it does not, there is no such table. Any 'professional' should be able to notice the difference and ignore packages without. Any external software should be able to detect same.

If you want, request a new entry under 'Browse packages' for 'Packages in repository'.
