Can this merge be reverted? The python-docformatter name was perfectly legitimate. In addition, nobody contacted me to suggest a name change. User creates a new package with no dependency, asks for a merge on the same day and this is accepted. This is just package stealing, and it breaks another package on purpose.

python-docformatter seems to qualify as "a program that is strongly coupled to the Python ecosystem". From ArchWiki Python package guidelines [a]: Python 3 library modules, use python-modulename. Also use the prefix if the package provides a program that is strongly coupled to the Python ecosystem (e.g. pip or tox). For other applications, use only the program name.

This seems like a pretty bogus reason. There are plenty of python packages which have a bin entry point with a python- name. Is that an official arch policy? This package is mostly used as a library.

Xeonacid [1] filed a request to merge python-docformatter [2] into docformatter [3]:

The package has a binary at `/usr/bin/docformatter`, it should not have a `python-` prefix which is for pure library.
