@astraluma@tacobelllabs.net @pypi@fosstodon.org when i asked about the negative range request issue i was told that's not something they can escalate and when i requested to confirm the bandwidth reduction would be meaningful they said yes but they don't have bandwidth to review it themselves. i also know that PEP 658 support which was specifically intended to avoid reliance on the zip file hacks that benefit from e.g. negative range requests took years to backfill and is still not available for some wheels.
