No discussion archive, but also PyPI is case insensitive.

FWIW, some of the current practice also includes arbitrarily changing
the names/versions, missing prefixes/suffixed (causing known conflicts),
among other non-standard things. My guess is also that multi-case ports
are in the minority.

Having said that feedback is welcome as mentioned, so thanks for posting :)
