Instead, try to be factual, mentioning use cases and features. Here, ‘most popular’ would could as marketing (it isn't important whether it's popular, what is important is that it works well), and to a lesser degree ‘efficient and secure’ -- everything is supposed to be efficient and secure (with varying success). Greetings, Maxime.

Hello Maxime, I've just copy-pasted the author's description as in: https://pypi.org/project/psycopg2-binary/ So, if I understand correctly, package contributors should (re)write packages descriptions?

Yes, package descriptions from upstream are useful but may need to be rewritten a bit. Also, for whatever reason, people seem to always ignore the copyright and license on upstream's description, but I don't understand how this would be justified legally. Greetings, Maxime.
