PyPI Organizations
PyPI is such an important service and as a Python user it's easy to take for granted that it just works. I recently had to make a config update from my project's GitHub repo to PyPI and lost the password and had to do account recovery, and then suddenly realized "wow, they take care of a lot of other orgs", and "wow, this is a TON of ops work" -- see the issues _just_ on account recovery: https://github.com/pypi/support/issues.

Things I've learned serving on the board of the Python Software Foundation
I think you have fundamentally misunderstood my argument.
"28 people on payroll" is not at all important to my point. The financial report says how much money is spent on salary. The important part is that most of it doesn't go to developers.
I don't see bloat because of how many staffers there are. I think funding is misallocated because developers don't get it (rather, they aren't hiring more people that can actually work on Python full time - my understanding is that most core devs have a day job) and because international events apparently run on a shoestring compared to PyCon, which in turn doesn't seem remotely important enough to justify its expenditures.
This results, among other things, in an ecosystem where basic PyPI support requests (see e.g. https://github.com/pypi/support/issues/2771) go unanswered for months, and Pip has embarrassing flaws (asking it to download a package without installing it can cause it to run arbitrary code from setup.py - https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1884 and many others) that have persisted for almost the entire history of Pip.
That said, I do see "bloat" in the social overhead of Python governance, given the proliferation of (volunteer) Work Groups that don't seem to be accomplishing very much.
And just to emphasize, I did already describe the PSF as "woefully underfunded", because it is - just like most other open source orgs.

Show HN: FSW: helpers for building apps with Flask, SQLAlchemy, and WTForms
FSW is a collection of classes and functions for building apps combining Flask, SQLAlchemy, and WTForms. The library is intended to be modular: it does not require instantiation with the app object, and its pieces are generally independent of each other.
I created the library to avoid duplication between my own Flask apps. Many of its helpers are inspired by Django. The library is currently in alpha and will hopefully be available on PyPI soon (https://github.com/pypi/support/issues/2987).
The library is divided into three components:
- fsw.views (RedirectView, TemplateView, FormView, CreateModelView, ReadModelView, ReadOneModelView, UpdateModelView, DeleteModelView)

Manim in 2021 Updates Video where I discuss ManimGL and ManimCE
ManimCE is mostly just a shorthand for Manim Community, and we had to initially use manimce for the pypi identifier since manim wasn't available, if that helps clear a bit of confusion.

“someone uploaded ~3500 packages to PyPI that point to a malicious URL”

"The package only contains __init__.py file, that says:
# the purpose is to make everyone pay attention to software supply chain attacks, because the risks are too great."
