Re: copyright or Copyright?

       In maintain.texi it says:

         For large changes, ask the contributor for an assignment.  Send per a
         copy of the file @file{request-assign.changes}.  (Like all the
         @samp{request-} files, it is in @file{/gd/gnuorg/Copyright} and in
         @code{gnulib}.)

       But on Fencepost, we have two directories -- one called
       /gd/gnuorg/copyright and one called /gd/gnuorg/Copyright.  The lower
       case variant contains the actual agreement, while the capitalized one
       contains the request.  This has caused my confusion on a few
       occasions, is there anything we could do to make this slightly
       clearer?

   What about moving everything to ~gnuorg/Copyright/, which is the
   directory mentioned in the standards?

The only drawback I see with that is that maintainers can get confused
as to which document to use.  The agreements are for the FSF to send
out, and I don't know if anyone at the FSF has some hardcoded names
pointing to the lower-case variant?
