"For Python 3 libraries, use python-modulename. For applications, use the program name. In either case, the package name should be entirely lowercase."
The module name is "git", thus the package name should be "python-git". Feel free to disagree with me, but I'm going to keep maintaining my package regardless. Don't merge it.

The module is imported as "git", so I feel that the package name should be named "python-git". I do not agree with the merge.

ilpianista [1] filed a request to merge python-git [2] into gitpython [3]:
I re-uploaded python2-gitpython because it has been deleted or dunno what happened. After that I noticed that there's already this python- git package that provides python-gitpython, but IMHO the name is wrong (maybe in past gitpython was simply named git?). Also dependant packages refer to python-gitpython.
If my request is accepted, I can orphan python-gitpython if the maintainer wants, so he can adopt it.
