https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/README.md#are-there-any-requirements-for-package-names-in-the-general-registry says

There are no hard requirements, but it is highly recommended to follow the package naming guidelines.

But the package naming guidelines do not specify that the package name has to be `Damerau-Levenshtein distance needs to be above 2' for automerging to work. In my opinion, this restriction is too strong and should be set to 1 instead of 2. But even if it is set to 2, we have no pre-assessment tool if the julia package name we are planning for is available and allowed or not. Please provide a tool that runs your automerge requirements on package name on a webpage or somewhere so that we can validate the name.
