Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Problem/Motivation
Currently the modules page capitalises the first letter of missing dependency machine names.
I'm referring to contributed module paragraphs_library as an example to describe this issue:
Description: Provides a library for reusing paragraphs.
Machine name: paragraphs_library
Requires: Paragraphs, Entity Reference, Revisions, File, Field, System, Views, Filter, User, Entity_usage (missing)
Required by: Paragraphs Demo (disabled)
As can be seen, the Entity_usage (missing) module is ran through ucfirst() before it is rendered on the page.
Proposed resolution
The actual module title for these missing dependencies cannot be retrieved or assumed, so for consistency reasons I believe they should be listed in lowercase.
Remaining tasks
Reviews needed
User interface changes
Modules will show missing dependencies as lowercased
API changes
None
Data model changes
None

webchickWe had some kind of thought process about this before, but I agree that there's a lack of consistency and just looks kinda weird. So this change looks good to me!
This also resulted in a warning about an unused use statement (use Drupal\Component\Utility\Unicode;) so removed that as well. (Yay less code!)
Committed and pushed to 8.8.x, thanks!
