I support updating the documentation in git, first; then perhaps making tests case-insensitive (which could be a complex change...).

Unfortunately, changing the send-email + log-tree.c code would break existing users of the applypatch-msg hook sample in linux/Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst which has been case-sensitive for around for 2 years: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191118223019.81708-1-linus.walleij@linaro.org
