>> Is the case sensitivity of listmaint and blanche intentional?
Yes. 'Saltzer' is a user in moira, 'saltzer' is not. Today,
capital letters are not valid in usernames. 'Saltzer' predates that
and was a bad idea in the first place. Those who live by case
sensitivity should expect to die by it as well.
