I'm interested in packaging up a mailing list statistics program from the MetricsGrimoire project.

The tarball is named

MetricsGrimoire-MailingListStats-0.4.2-64-gb0664d1.tar.gz

which suggests "MetricsGrimoire-MailingListStats" as the package name. That's pretty unwieldy though. Another option might be just MailingListStats. But then, the docs refer to "MLStats", and the primary program is "mlstats".

So....

• MetricsGrimoire-MailingListStats
• MailingListStats
• MLStats
• mlstats

?

I've reread the naming guidelines and... yeah, judgement call. I'm kind of inclined to go with mlstats for brevity and lower-case aesthetic considerations. Opinions?

That... is a ridiculously inconsistent package. I'd personally go with mlstats. Unless I hate the people using them, then maybe I'll choose any of the three other options. :P
