We could perhaps add defadvice to **wiki** for those who want to 
do global change in their emacs environment, something like:

(if (< emacs-major-version 25)
  (defadvice mml2015-epg-check-user-id (around downcase activate)
    (ad-set-arg 1 (downcase (ad-get-arg 1)))
    (ad-set-arg 2 (downcase (ad-get-arg 2)))
    ad-do-it))

totally untested -- also now that I finished that 'before might also work.
