This has been a known bug to me, unfortunately there's currently no good solution to really fix this.
Problem is the different handling of caps in project names of paths on drupal.org and the update-api of drupal.org where project data is pulled from. Until there's a better API (hopefully coming with drupal.org D7 upgrade) there's not much I can do here in general.

In general, naming a project with caps is a bad idea and tends to lead to problems (eg. #1893434: Inconsistent url/namespace ) unfortunately it's not checked during the promotion of a project... resulting in many requests in the d.o webmasters queue. The only way to really fix this problem is by creating a new project with lowercase shortname and requesting the deletion of the old. Which, for sure, sucks.

Sorry, can't really do much here at the moment :-/

Leaving open for other, if you find other projects with caps not working please report them here

Hi Patrick,

I can't follow path suggested by you. Project can't be deleted by project owner may be webmaster can do it. And practically deleting project is also not a good solution.

Anyway can you point me issue reported at D.O webmaster or D.O content?

I know, that's why I said it sucks ;-)

There's no issue about this in the webmaster queue yet afaik, I only talked about this with the infrastructure team and they are aware of these inconsistencies but it's not really a bug for them.

I need to figure out some way to fix this, stay tuned, sorry!
