In January 2020, `the PyPI moderators exhausted the PEP 541 process for contacting the PIL project owner <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1535#issuecomment-570308446>`_ and the `PIL project on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/PIL>`_ was transferred to the `Pillow team <https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/graphs/contributors>`_. The Pillow team has no plans to update the PIL project on PyPI.
