From the 2017-2018 work overhauling PyPI: announcing the Mozilla grant and the coming switchover from legacy PyPI to Warehouse, then asking for project maintainers to test the new site, then announcing the beta, then announcing that the old site was shutting down.
Current PyPI sponsors Current Python Software Foundation staff, including multiple staffers who work on packaging infrastructure, and the announcement that they're hiring one more.
The user experience research and design documentation for pip and Python packaging specifically, developed in 2020; Superbloom later created a HOWTO on user testing.
Before-and-after screenshots of pip's redesigned error messages: pull requests number 10959, 10795, and 10703 - thanks to Pradyun Gedam for pointing to those. (Also: Pradyun Gedam's new library "diagnostic", further developing his interest in improving error messages in command-line tools more broadly.)
