Take over the BeneDict name on PyPI

[Tatsh]

The BeneDict project has not seen an update for 5 years and I honestly think the author would not mind if this project took over. I recently did this with a project and while it took a while, the admin finally changed ownership to me.

I do not like how easy it is to forget to add the python- prefix to so many packages when the better name is taken by a dead project. It wastes time and is potentially dangerous if a malicious package is at the better name.

The process for name transfer is documented in PEP 541.

Once the name is transferred you can put a deprecation notice on a final release of python-benedict directing users to the shorter name.

@Tatsh thank you for the suggestion, this is something I definitely should do.

In the past, in a similar situation for another package of mine, I asked to the author of a "dead" package to let my project to take over.
He was open to do it, but only for money, so I refused.

This is another reason why I decided to prefix my python packages with python-: to have more freedom of choice when choosing project name and being consistent for all packages.

@SurrealAI would you be open to let python-benedict to take over the benedict project name ownership?
