    Description

      When parsing the project name from ICLAs, many people write the project name rather than the implicitly assumed project id. That is, a user may submit an ICLA for "Logging Services", "Log4j", or "Logging", but those all would map to the "logging" PMC from the workbench form. As an improvement, I'd like to have two initial rules:

      1. Try the all lowercase version of the field. This will cover the common scenario where a user writes something like "Foo" instead of "foo".
      2. Maintain a list of some common subprojects that ICLAs are submitted under. For example, Solr is under the Lucene PMC.
