Comment (by costdev):

 Using something like `WordPress` makes sense to me too. As it isn't an
 acronym, it should be fine to use CamelCaps.

 `WpOrg` (lowercase or uppercase) is also a commonly used abbreviation for
 `wordpress.org`.

 It's possible that `WpOrg` was used in an effort to say "This is created
 under the WordPress Organisation on GitHub". In this case, using
 `WordPress` may incorrectly imply that WordPress is a dependency for
 Requests.

 It would be good to get some insight into the reason(s) why `WpOrg` was
 chosen or, more specifically, why `WordPress` wasn't chosen. It's quite
 possible that we're unaware of sound reasoning for it that we should
 consider when discussing an alternative namespace.
