Some subsystem maintainers like upper case, some mixed, some lower. Some aren't consistent. (Staging/staging)
Case usually doesn't matter to most of us.
Given that we're working in case sensitive languages here it's probably safe to assume that a reasonable proportion of people will care; being reasonably consistent with existing practice for the subsystem seems sensible.
Presumably the tool would also have to traverse up the tree to find the appropriate style so every MAINTAINERS section would not need a C entry.
ie: sound/soc/codecs/foo could use the C: entry for sound/soc/
Perhaps something like: C: ASoC basename:
and for arch/x86/: C: x86, dirname:
etc.
