We at very least have to strip out JavaScript completely from uploads. And form 
elements; any browser things that allow local storage - the list goes on.

Even if we don't have cookies on the main site; you can hijack 
sessions/cookies/etc from *.python.org via a malicious upload. This probably 
includes the wiki. 

This doesn't even touch on the fact the pypi mirrors need to have proper ssl 
security in place lest different hijacking occurs as well.
