This URL vs Url operation was the most ridiculous, petty thing that I've ever seen in openSUSE in my 7 or 8 years of maintaining packages.
All I can say to this is that I'm very sorry for the role I played in this. While writing about the pointless changes done by spec-cleaner, I used the "URL:" -> "Url:" change as a blatant example of a change which is not only completely pointless but also actually wrong. But I swear all I wanted was spec-cleaner to leave the tag untouched and I always suggested to accept both. Alas, I could only watch Tomáš to completely miss my point and replace enforcing one variant with enforcing the other. :-( (and, by that, unconsciously confirming the problem I was talking about in the first place)
My mission in openSUSE is to make it user friendly and easily installable, I take a pride in this and also give a lot of my valuable time. Accepting a request on my behalf that has only existed for an hour isn't appreciated.
Another long term problem of openSUSE maintenance. Fortunately, at least this one (accepting requests before package maintainer has chance to review them) tends to happen less frequently in the last year or so, AFAICS. Or perhaps I'm just lucky. However, the primary problem is still the same: distribution maintainers do not trust package maintainers and do not respect them.
