Good day!
I have been developing in Node for a few months now for non-Python
projects (legacy project) and I found a NPM feature which could be
helpful to developers of Python libraries.
When you install a NPM package, some show a message from the author
after installation (see example below).
------
Thank you for using core-js (https://github.com/zloirock/core-js ) for
polyfilling JavaScript standard library!
The project needs your help! Please consider supporting of core-js on
Open Collective or Patreon:

Also, the author of core-js (https://github.com/zloirock ) is looking
for a good job -)

Is it possible to adopt this? My proposal is to add an entry in the
package metadata which I believe is safer and easier to implement
compared to running a post-installation script. It is up for
developers of package managers (pip, poetry, etc.) to actually print
these on the terminal.
I appreciate comments and feedback.
Isn't this the same feature that caused a backlash and a ban?

user, so maybe I'm conflating two different things.
