Nuget.org let’s you reserve a prefix for your company:

NPM has scopes:

So there are ways to make package repositories prevent squatting on package names.



I tried this with NuGet, and got no response. Does not seem like they care for the smaller fish.


Damn, that's a shame. I contacted nuget just a few minutes ago to reserve a name for packages I want to publish. Hope they will consider it :(


That was a while ago, but I already had a few packages with 10k+ downloads under the company name.


Not sure if you will read this, but the nuget team responded earlier today to my email and reserved the prefix I asked for. They were quite reactive, you may want to try out your luck again.
