Description
I made a horrible error in the description of my recently-published package here:
Obviously, the stupider the mistake is, the harder you try to correct it, and this one is just causing insane amounts of stress when it should not, especially because there's nothing I can do about it. opm won't let me publish over an existing package to fix the typo, but publishing a patch release just to correct this would be absolutely stupid. But I can't delete and republish the package because there is an artificial 3-day delay (!!).
I wish there was a way to fix stupid mistakes like these so I don't look like a big clown to everyone who sees that package.

Reproduce the typo-correction scenario and define completion as a supported way to correct package metadata without requiring an inappropriate patch release.
