I'd appreciate having such changes, even minor version updates, run by
me first. This is not the kind of simple, obvious fix that
openmaintainer is meant to allow; in fact there's a real discussion to
be had here.

This is not a new development. The files.pythonhosted.org redirector was
created specifically to solve this problem and has existed for quite
some time.

Are you going to do this for every pypi-hosted port? Having to do that
seems like pretty much the worst possible outcome for maintainers (and
defeats the purpose of using the redirector).

IMO two better possibilities to pursue would be to ask the operators of
the redirector to allow older systems to connect, and to get our
distfile mirroring working.
