What's the problem this feature will solve?
I see a package written by me on PyPI and would like to reach out to the maintainer who uploaded it, how can I do that? Via the, correctly stated, author email I get user requests for updating the PyPI project page.

Describe the solution you'd like
As a logged in user with a verified email address, I'd like a way to send a message to another user (in my special case that other user is a maintainer) that has a verified email address but opted-out from showing it publicly.

Additional context
I've searched and it seems that the maintainer email is available through some API.
I've also looked through the FAQ section without finding a solution.

If the author has provided an email, that is available in the "Meta" section of the "Project Description" in the left sidebar.

See https://pypi.org/project/sampleproject/ for example.

Yes, but it is the Maintainer (which I assume is the owner of the PyPI project page) I would like to reach, the author email in this case goes to me ;-)

Maintainers may also choose to post their email addresses. If:

  • The maintainer has a verified email address; and
  • The maintainer has opted-in to displaying an email address; and
  • You are logged in to PyPI

Then, when you click the link to a user profile under the "Maintainers" header in the left sidebar, you will see an email address.

For example, the maintainer The_Compiler of pytest displays an email address on their profile.

@jamadden @pradyunsg Thank you both for your clear explanations with example links.
I have updated the original post to reflect the new things I have learnt.

In my specific case, there are broken links on the PyPI package page and support requests are landing in the author email box.
