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:
