A little weird its named “twine” since that name has been in use for years by a JavaScript interactive fiction development platform.

Also the recommended Python tool to upload Python packages to PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/twine/

First thing I thought of as well. Actually used to work with the guy who developed and maintains it. AFAIK they trademarked the name as well.

Indeed. It is a registered trademark.
