Have a look here:

There is a mix of using just the project name or the -devel suffix for
the developer list (without suffix: libreoffice, PackageKit, etc; with
suffix: gstreamer, systemd, etc).

Before proposing a renaming I would first check if it's possible to do
so without having to re-subscribe everybody, loosing archives and other
drawbacks. And even then, there will be still this mix for freedesktop
projects. :-)
