I haven't found an example account for this yet. DeezyMatch lists LwM but it's deployed under @kasra-hosseini's account: pypi.org/user/khosseinizad
AFAIK no such account exists. I think we should discuss as a team if that makes sense or not. This is probably part of a broader discussion about if/how code projects are maintained beyond the lifetime of LwM.
@davanstrien guessing this should got to a different milestone then? @andrewphilipsmith am I right thinking you've got this to test deploy via your PyPI
account at the moment?

My preference would be to wait with that until it's been established that this is the approach we want to take (and have decided how this will be managed at the end of the project). A compromise might be to make multiple people maintainers so we reduce the bus factor slightly.
In general, with this particular case, I would probably prefer to hold off making it available via PyPI until we've fixed some of the remaining bugs/rough edges and encourage people who want to use the software in its current form to do a git install i.e. python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Living-with-machines/alto2txt.git
but others might be keen to push ahead with the PyPI install already.
Sorry for my slow reply: it is already up on PyPI
as 1 July on https://pypi.org/project/alto2txt/ and maintained by @andrewphilipsmith through his account: https://pypi.org/user/andysmith/.
@davanstrien or others (@DavidBeavan perhaps?) if you would like this taken down we can try to sort (apologies in advance if so to @andrewphilipsmith). Also: is there a ticket for Living-with-Machines
regarding future managing libraries generally?

I think if it's already up, it's probably not worth taking it down.

I don't think so, but I think this would be good to discuss/document. In particular, how much we rely on people's motivations to maintain stuff that they worked on for career reasons vs institutions taking on maintenance responsibility.
We may also want to consider adding some kind of 'maintenance' status header to our repositories to indicate if — and in what form — repositories are being maintained?
@davanstrien sure, can figure the maintenance
status at some point, and having a central account to solve that might help. Finally just made ones for PyPI
and TestPyPI
, figure that's a starting point. See: #59.
