I think you answered the question yourself.
Personally, when I am dealing with other people's projects, I dislike ones
that do not name their own Makefile "Makefile", as I traditionally have
done my local customization by having a higher precedence Makefile
("makefile" in the old world order, or "GNUmakefile" for gmake) that sets
things up and then call into upstream "Makefile". For this project, since
I am the upstream, I do want to keep the file named "Makefile".
