Drop underscores in spec shortname and repo name to align with usual practice?

[tidoust]

The shortname defined in the specification is audio_context_playout_stats.
The repository name is web_audio_playout.

In both cases, the name includes underscores. Underscores are unusual in specification shortnames: there are no W3C/WHATWG shortnames with underscores, the only occurrences are for WebGL extension specs, defined in the Khronos Group.

Could the shortname and repo name use minus instead of underscores? Also, could they match?

Via w3c/browser-specs#1550 (comment) where we're considering adding the spec to the list of specs in browser-specs

Note the shortname can always be adjusted later on as needed (but stability is usually also a good thing!).

Hi! I agree we should change this. The spec is currently in PING-review, where we have listed this repo as the place to file issues. I propose that we make this change after the PING-review but before the next action, to avoid confusion due to URLs pointing to the wrong place during the review.

the privacy review seems to have been conducted now - would it be timely to do the change now?

[Hernqvist]

Hi! We are currently working with the Privacy WG to alleviate their concerns. My plan is that once that is wrapped up, we will change the name of the repo before moving ahead to the Audio WG. Does that work for you?

@tidoust I've synced up the shortname and repo name to audio-context-playout-stats. Please let me know if there are any more discrepancies!
