How can I correctly show the dependents of my Python package on GitHub given a conflicting repo?


I'm one of the maintainers of https://pypi.org/project/pretext. We previously used the more verbose pretextbook namespace, but the maintainer of an inactive pretext project graciously offered the name to us.

On GitHub, it seems that the repository archive for this old project is getting the "Used By" information in GitHub's dependency graph instead of our active repository. Is there any way to correct this?
