Possible name conflict with existing open-source project

[UriHerrera]

The recent name change for Xamarin.Forms to MAUI might be a cause of confusion with an existing open-source project named Maui Project.

Maui Project has existed since 2018. This open-source project is also similar in scope in that it's a framework to develop cross-platform user interfaces.

There's a GitHub organization too https://github.com/mauikit. The code is mirrored from a Gitlab instance hosted by another broader open-source community, KDE. The Github organization predates this decision by Microsoft by about two years, with the first commits in the organization happening around April 29, 2018.

The name is also recursive for Maui Project, Multi-Adaptable User Interfaces.

I'm part of the group of developers that are involved in this project, and I would like to kindly ask for a way to resolve this possible naming confusion.
