At a mere guess, I'd say there'd be very little of that.  Most of the code originated on Linux or one of the *BSD's; and most of them would default to case-sensitive filesystems, even if they had the option.  So their code would be well-behaved.

Continuing the guess, I'd say that code originating on a by-default case-insensitive system (like macOS, but also Windows, as far as that goes) would be more likely to have careless capitalization inconsistencies.
