Comment:

 You're misunderstanding. The WordPress code sends the folder name of the
 plugin, and we match it against the slug. That's how the update API works.

 So, before we even entertain the notion of allowing the folder name to not
 be the same as the slug of the plugin, then the WordPress core needs to
 have that concept built into it. It currently does not.

 So, this type of ticket is dependent upon the core code itself changing
 what it sends for update checks. It's not something we can just shove into
 the meta code, the WordPress core itself must act differently, and that
 would be something that belongs in core.trac.
