PyPI user performing the mass project name squatting

https://pypi.org/user/Collie

Additional information

This user keeps submitting blank packages to PyPI, even includes name like apps, which makes import sorting tools like isort treat apps as a non-project package.
I think this user is abusing the service and packages like apps may better be removed from PyPI.
