Two blank lines after an import should be reduced to one

[WhyNotHugo]

Describe the style change

This applies to the first line of code after the block of imports at the top of the file.

These lines are not changed by black:

from middleman.authentication import validate_oauth_token

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

This is changed to the above (makes sense to me):

from middleman.authentication import validate_oauth_token
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

However, black does not reformat this:

from middleman.authentication import validate_oauth_token


logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

This is very annoying since it allows for inconsistency.

Desired style

I think black should reformat that final example to look like the first. As an alternative, it could also always leave two lines. Either one or two lines is fine by me, but only one option should be valid.

Additional context

I think it's that simple.

I'm sure I've seen a design issue talking about this, but I can't seem to find it...

Maybe the issue doesn't actually exist and I'm just acting crazy :)

Also, can't reproduce on the Black Playground.

Can't find any duplicates in F: empty lines Wasting vertical space efficiently. . The bug is really that the last example (with two lines after the import) doesn't get reduced to one line, and I can reproduce that on main.

The two-line issue still persists: playground

hey! I opened a PR here trying to address this issue #4489 - I made some test cases from the examples in the issue description which are working as described
