Short name blocked by a sandbox project

Created on 5 September 2025, 13 days ago

I've started a new project as sandbox https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/claudiucristea/3518124 . I've anticipated the short name as oauth_client because I've checked https://www.drupal.org/project/oauth_client and that returned 404, so I've assumed that it's free. However, trying to promote as full project I got "This project short name is already in use.".

@fjgarlin, pointed me to this sandbox project https://www.drupal.org/node/2767919 which it seems it did take the name. But how is possible for sandbox project to take a short name? For years I was convinced that only permanent/full projects are owning a a short name.
