hi,

Since the review request[1] was marked a FE-Legal because of a potential
trademark concern[2], upstream has agreed to rename the package[3]. Can
you please take 5 minutes and have a look at the new name(s) upstream is
thinking of. It would help in keeping the review going. 

Quoting upstream's latest comment[3]:

Thank you. 

regards,
Ankur
