Since Kup is born as a KCM module, I think I can name it "kcm-kup" [3]... but there's really no package in Fedora named "kcm". In fact, looking through the package list I can find six kcm modules, but they are following different name schemas: the oldest three are using the "-" separator (kcm-fcitx, kcm-gtk, kcm-qt-graphicssystem), while the newest three use the "_" (kcm_systemd, kcm_touchpad, kcm_wacomtablet) which is a violation of naming guidelines [4].
It is not. Quoting your link: | packages where the upstream name naturally contains an underscore are | excluded from this which is the case for the KCMs. (kcm_* is their natural name, it is how the so files are named, and sometimes also the tarballs, when upstream is not bowing to Debian's nonsensical underscore ban.)
The kcm-* naming convention comes from Debian. IMHO, it is incorrect.
