Even for the last string (that would become "libcamera Source") ?
Libcamera with a capital L is fine in class names such as
GstLibcameraSrc, it's in user-visible text that we try to keep it
lower-case (and in documentation, comments, commit messages, ...).

I haven't really found one either, but haven't spent too much time on
it. The libcamera namespace prefix, in particular, is a bit long.
Abbreviating it to libc isn't a very good idea :-)
