DOC: Mixed capitalization styles in page titles
See original GitHub issuePage titles in the docs use both
sentence case
(“How to contribute to the NumPy documentation”), where only the first word is capitalized, andtitle case
(“Releasing a Version”), which capitalizes principal words (omitting “a”, “of”, “the”, etc.)
Mixing styles makes the docs seem disorganized; a uniform style would give a better impression.
I vote that we converge on sentence case, which is contemporary usage almost everywhere, and I volunteer to go through our pages and PR the needed changes.

Note that the issue is a little broader than the one example given, it’s about consistency of all titles. @misalraj are you interested to go through the docs and check other pages?
