question on policy of renaming an extension

The ext/mcve module at some point in time needs to be renamed ext/monetra to reflect a naming change, and lessen confusion in the field, as the product is no longer referenced as MCVE. What is the best way to go about doing this? I did not want to just go in there and remove ext/mcve and commit the same stuff to ext/monetra and 'get in trouble'. (Truthfully, I don't know if I even have the perms to do this). At this point there are only minimal changes needed to take advantage of the new naming (primarily the config.m4 and a couple of small references elsewhere), as the function calls and variables already reflect the change. Thanks! -Brad
