I think they would be interested.

Because Homebrew already has a project with the same name, this project cannot be submitted successfully

I think you can just propose to replace that. That tcping implementation is no longer maintained. And this fully covered its functionality. And it's also native.

You can also use a different package name, like tcping-plus. A lot of formulas does that. No need to change executable name. You can specify conflict with the original one so people would not install both :)

Perhaps using aliases instead is a good solution, but it's not clear whether upstream will accept such a solution (because of binary file name conflicts). As a mainstream package manager for Mac, if you can add package sources, it will be of great help to users.

Take a look at this, it may be of some help to facilitate user installation.
