Goutham Pacha Ravi dbdca7da55 [resolution] Relinquish "quantum" project on PyPI
We renamed the OpenStack Networking Service from "quantum"
to "Neutron" in 2013 [1]. We have since not updated any
artifacts to the PyPI project with the same name.

A request arrived in the OpenStack Discuss Mailing list [2]
to transfer ownership to a new owner.

2025-15-14 Relinquish the quantum project on PyPI

Whereas:

  • The OpenStack Networking service was historically named quantum prior to its renaming to neutron in 2013. This renaming was approved by the OpenStack Technical Committee.
  • No active OpenStack project or community-maintained package currently requires the quantum namespace on PyPI
  • PyPI does not support reclaiming project names once deleted, making deletion a final and permanent action.
  • A request has been made on the OpenStack Discuss mailing list to transfer ownership of the quantum project on PyPI to a new maintainer.
  • The existing content under the quantum name on PyPI is legacy and can be deleted

It is hereby resolved that:

  • The OpenStack Technical Committee agrees to relinquish control of the quantum name on PyPI.
  • The OpenStack Infra team is authorized to delete all OpenStack-owned package versions under the quantum name on PyPI.
  • The OpenStack Infra team shall then transfer the project name to the requester as per the standard PyPI project transfer process.
  • The OpenStack Technical Committee disclaims any responsibility or liability for the legal use or implications associated with the "quantum" name.
