Description

Some modules have a NAME value that starts with an uppercase character, and others start with lowercase. This makes the output of parse_reports a little odd, as uppercase comes before lowercase in the sorting of module names. (e.g. "Yara" comes before "libmagic") Could we make the NAMEs of the modules use consistent casing?
