Comment (by dd32):

 > I wonder how plugins that have renamed or even re-branded after the
 creation of the plugin, how should they handle that process?

 The vast majority of plugins that rebrand simply rename the plugin, `ACME
 Widgets` => `Dions Widgets`, sometimes they do have a transitional period
 of `Dions Widgets (formally ACME Widgets)` from what I've seen.

 At first I don't see that being an issue at all here, it's unlikely that a
 plugin should/would want to have the name of the plugin on WordPress.org &
 within their users plugins panel differ.
