I think I was not clear in my initial email. I actually combined
nodejs and python thing.

Recently I approved a elasticdump[1] package review where I just
suggested nodejs's first naming rule[2] to follow which will make it
nodejs-elasticsearch but submitter wanted to follow nodejs naming
guidelines second rule that says use tool name as package name. I was
fine with that so I approved but then someone offline discussed with
me same for python packaging. So I need some guidance here.

Parag.
