Is it in the URLs, the mail aliases, some place else?
Well, no. As I said, someone on mailman-users was confused by the fact that newlist had done it, so that some other mailman bin/ command didn't recognize the both-case version of the name. And it just seems wrong. (Obviously the work would be identifying the few cases where case really should be immaterial, but by default, IMO, everything everywhere should follow the case originally entered to newlist unless it causes a problem.)
