One challenge with Prefix ID reservations today is that there isn't a very empowering experience if something is reserved even if no packges exist or who is the current owner of a package prefix ID when there may be challenges with potential disputes.
A transparent way to view these through some type of NuGet.org page to search and see which owner currently owns an ID would be very helpful so that users can negotiate terms between each other before needing to get NuGet support involved.
PyPi uses a Github Repository to track these requests which provides some transparency:
This would also be an interesting tool for inactive prefix ID owners and redistributing if they aren't used.
Experience: A user would be able to anonymously go to a NuGet.org page and type in a Prefix ID into a searchbox with the respective glob syntax that is supported. The search results would return with who the current owner is, when they requested that prefix ID, the status of the prefix ID (active, inactive, etc), and any request history showing actions done previously.
If a user is logged in and would like to reserve a Prefix ID that is unclaimed, there is a UI that allows them to easily claim ownership so long as their packages meets the criteria instead of having to reach out to a support resource.
