While not horribly useful under most circumstances, the mail standards actually specify that the left-hand side of an e-mail address is case-sensitive. Those are, per RFC 5322, actually two different e-mail addresses.
I wonder if there is any mileage in recommending that all email addresses be lowercase, maybe through a Lintian info message.
What about some possibility for the QA software to recognise multiple email addresses as belonging to the same person? Every DD that switches to using a @debian.org address must have this irritation.
