Well, those guidelines do say:
"Package names should be in lower case and use dashes in preference to
underscores."
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming, under "General Naming".
Upper case names aren't forbidden, of course, but there is a definite
and clearly-stated preference for lower case names.
What about this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming#Case_Sensitivity
Keep in mind to respect the wishes of the upstream maintainers. If they
refer to their application as "ORBit", you should use "ORBit" as the
package name, and not "orbit". However, if they do not express any
preference of case, you should default to lowercase naming.
