The next version of the Savannah software (Savane) is already putting 
usernames lowercase.
Changing the user name would be troublesome, as it is replicated in a 
lot of different configuration files that I am not sure Savane is 
updating. I do not feel safe with trying to do it. However, giving to 
Savane the ability to rename user is a good idea I may implement in the 
future.
