Ony should get the same page independent of the case of the maintainer

Probably this is also the case for submitter emails.
Technically, e-mail addresses (well, local parts) /aren't/ case insensitive;
RFC2821 section 2.4 says (in part):
"
The local-part of a mailbox
MUST BE treated as case sensitive. Therefore, SMTP implementations
MUST take care to preserve the case of mailbox local-parts. Mailbox
domains are not case sensitive. In particular, for some hosts the
user "smith" is different from the user "Smith". However, exploiting
the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts impedes interoperability
and is discouraged.
"
i.e. it's unlikely to happen that [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are
different mailboxes but it's permitted.
