Handling modules with similar names / descriptions

We are already asking to list similar projects that already exist, even in the case the similarity is in the project name, or in the project purpose.

The only way to detect such cases would be in a submission handler for the form to create new projects, but I am not sure it would worth implementing it. There are surely cases where similar project names or project machine names are legitimate.
For example, the Imagick → module and the ImageMagick module both implement an image toolkit, both based on the ImageMagick library, although the latter module could also use the GraphicsMagick library. The difference is that the first module uses a PHP extension, while the latter uses a CLI executable. I take this as example because I always picked up the wrong one: I went to the ImageMagick project page when I wanted to download and use the Imagick module. That would not be a reason for asking to one of the projects to change name, though. Any other name for those projects would be more confusing than their actual, similar, names.

I am closing this issue, since it is a support request which got answered.
