There is a difference if we translate pip requirements (eg via metaextract[1]) to rpm requires (assuming that other pip packages use the correct name). The name we should use is then one that is written in the setup.py/setup.cfg file. Which is "gogs_client". So the correct name is imo python-gogs_client .

That makes sense and disambiguates the package name. How about this for a policy: Package should be named as python-<setup.py `name` field>. If this is different from PyPI name (e.g. gogs_client as setup.py name, gogs-client as pypi name), then python-<PyPI name> should also be provided.
