I know things are really overloaded at PyPI, but I’m bumping this because I’m that much closer to a 1.0 release. The Google results for “django moo” largely return my project now, as there’s no other references to the old project out there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm about to release an application/package I've been calling django-moo. It's a reimplementation of the LambdaMOO online game as a Django application. I've struggled for some time to come up with a better name for it, but they were all terrible, and didn't reflect the actual purpose and goals of the project.
This package name appears to already be taken by an abandoned and possibly invalid project (as defined in PEP-541).
It's definitely abandoned; there have been no releases for 2 years, and the homepage returns a 403.
I also think it may not really be a valid package worth keeping. I downloaded the contents and I found the following:
But the most concerning thing is that simply importing the library will start a background thread serving some sort of half-broken web application. I didn't actually go so far as to try to run it, but it doesn't look like it would actually do much of anything — like it's unfinished.
It may be related to this other package by the same author https://pypi.org/project/django-moo-url/ — while the packages are slightly different, they are similar in that they start a background thread by being imported, and don't really do much of anything.
Maintenance or replacement?
Replacement
Source code repositories URLs
The current project homepage appears inaccessible with a 403 status at https://gitee.com/nerd-mo/django_moo — I tried created an account at gitee.com in hopes that would grant me access, but no dice.
My project is at https://gitlab.com/bubblehouse/django-moo
Contact and additional research
I contacted the owner 3 times over about a week. Attached is the email thread in plain text format.
