No Project Info Button Exists on PyPI Project Page Banner for Similarly Named Projects #17113

What's the problem this feature will solve?
Currently, there is no info button for a project/package name that is similar to another existing package name in the "Admin tools for project" banner. If a project name is prohibited, there is an info button that indicates that it is "Prohibited", or if a project already exists, an info button such as "View project in admin" exists. Having a similar solution for project names that have not been allowed due existing similarly named projects/packages would be a useful feature as it would let admin/support see and confirm that a project name has been denied due to its similarity with an existing project name.

Describe the solution you'd like
An info button indicating if a project name is already similar to an existing package name. It can simply say "Similar Name." Clicking on it can provide additional info on the backend of what project name it is specifically similar to for additional information.
