The role of the Python Software Foundation
------------------------------------------
The Python Software Foundation [8]_ is the non-profit legal entity that
provides the Package Index as a community service.
The Package Index maintainers can escalate issues covered by this
document for resolution by the PSF Board if the matter is not clear
enough. Some decisions *require* additional judgement by the Board,
especially in cases of Code of Conduct violations or legal claims.
Decisions made by the Board are published as Resolutions [9]_.
The Board has the final say in any disputes covered by this document and
can decide to reassign or remove a project from the Package Index after
careful consideration even when not all requirements listed
here are met.
