Mailman's policy is that membership is by case-insensitive email
address, and it preserves the case of the subscribed address only for
the recipient address (either envelope or From:).

When there's a unified user database (read: Mailman 3.0), an email
address with any combination of case will still point to the same user
record, but it may be possible for users to add delivery addresses
with different cases.
