Possible case-sensitivity issue in module-link

Hello!
I use cgit on my own site https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/
Some of my repositories contain submodules, for example
https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/Sietima/tree/docs/presentation/
https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/thermostat/tree/
https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/thermostat/tree/sensor/
https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/lego-piano/tree/
https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/lego-piano/tree/3d-print
All those submodules are listed in the repo's config file, for
example ``thermostat/config`` contains::
[cgit "module-link"]
esp8266-oled-ssd1306 = https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-oled-ssd1306/tree/%s
DHTesp = https://github.com/beegee-tokyo/DHTesp/tree/%s
bt-server = https://www.thenautilus.net/cgit/gobbledegook/tree/?id=%s
and ``lego-piano/config`` contains::
[cgit "module-link"]
RingBuffer = https://github.com/Locoduino/RingBuffer/tree/%s
ESP8266Audio = https://github.com/earlephilhower/ESP8266Audio/tree/%s
[cgit "module-link.3d-print/LEGO"]
scad = https://github.com/cfinke/LEGO.scad/tree/%s
You may have noticed that only *some* submodules show up as links in
the CGit output:
- ``esp8266-oled-ssd1306``, ``bt-server``, ``LEGO.scad`` work
- ``DHTesp``, ``RingBuffer``, ``ESP8266Audio`` don't
My suspicion is that the case of the characters after the last ``.``
is involved: if they're all lowercase, the link works, if some are
uppercase, it doesn't.
Running ``git config -l`` in the ``lego-piano`` repository directory,
for example, I get::
cgit.module-link.ringbuffer=https://github.com/Locoduino/RingBuffer/tree/%s
cgit.module-link.esp8266audio=https://github.com/earlephilhower/ESP8266Audio/tree/%s
cgit.module-link.3d-print/LEGO.scad=https://github.com/cfinke/LEGO.scad/tree/%s
notice that ``ringbuffer`` and ``esp8266audio`` got lowercased, but
``LEGO`` didn't. If the configuration is parsed like this, and the
submodule's path is then matched case-sensitively, the result would be
what I observe.
Can anyone confirm? I've been reading the source of CGit plus the bits
of Git that are linked in, but I haven't found code that would produce
the behaviour I see.
Thanks in advance.
