Wow, it's concerning that someone just uploaded a fork on PyPI without
notifying the original author, yet reuses the original home page.

Even more so when there are no tags matching the uploaded tarball.

I think we should adjust the home page of this package to point to the
fork, and maybe add a comment explaining the situation.  WDYT?

Can you also add a copyright line for yourself in python-check.scm?

Thanks for tracking down this issue!
