Hi,
For many (python) packages there are multiple possibilities for the source URL, e.g. pypi, github, homepage etc. But they all have other contents. In many cases, the pypi-archive does not have tests, as opposed to release-archives from github. Thus personally, I would prefer the archive with tests over the pypi one.
But as requests with github-URLs get declined[1], I'd like to ask how to perform the checks? Sorry. I missed your comment about the missing tests. I accepted the package. So there's no guideline which source to use? Probably use both sources, one to build the software, the other one for the tests? You could also ask upstream to include the tests. I haven't done a survey, but this is a quite generic problem tough. Filing a bunch of "bug" reports upstream in all kind of projects does not solve the overall problem. The same applies to docs too (both single files in the "root" directory as also the docs/ directory).
