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.
Greg takes patches that say STAGING or Staging or staging.
DaveM takes patches that say net: or netdev: or network: or NET:
The sound maintainers take patches that say sound: or alsa: or ALSA:
etc.
