The project issue tracker (if it has one) should be included here - the problem with email and social media is that they will generally lack the clear audit trail that public issue trackers automatically provide. > -- Package is not installable via pip install on 2.7 or 3.x I'd be very wary of including technical requirements like this in the package transfer process.
