Renaming an existing package with changed capitalization

Our organization is considering rebranding our software tool suite (several application interfaces and code-bases) which has been around for a long time (15+ years) and the name and capitalization is reflected in the current registered Julia package name. It would be preferable to just change the capitalization of the letters (while we would also update the meaning of what some of the letters stand). I read that just updating the capitalization of a Julia package and/or making a new package with updated capitalization is challenging and maybe not allowed. Is there any path forward to do this or to get an exception with a commitment to guide users to update to the new package name?
