Hello, A couple of days ago I requested a user namespace to be manually created for me, since it was missing after first login (see [this post](http://forum.ansible.com/t/missing-user-namespace/7507)). Thanks to quick response from galaxy developer, it was fixed, and namespace was created. However, today I was trying to publish a collection, using aforementioned namespace, and it would not let me, stating the following: ```auto ERROR! Galaxy import process failed: Invalid collection metadata. 'namespace' has invalid format... ``` Can I request help with either renaming the namespace (“dvchevskii” would be fine), or somehow resolving the issue otherwise? Here is the link to failed task: [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/task/0190f8d5-e733-7569-a803-1dbb81abe956/) Thanks in advance! ---
