verbose_name is capitalized and goes against user expectations about sphinxcontrib-django HOT 3 CLOSED

This bothered me as well, I solved it in the following way:
field_verbose_name[:1].upper() + field_verbose_name[1:]
Since this project is not maintained anymore, I packaged my own fork: https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-django2/
If you have any ideas for improvements, feel free to submit them to the forked repo: sphinxcontrib-django2

Thanks, @timoludwig. I saw your "Maintained Fork" issue. While it is unfortunate that @vdboor has seemingly abandoned maintence, I'm glad you've stepped up and are willing to maintain a fork. Hopefully your fork gets more traction.

I now merged the changes of my fork back into this repo, including commit 7142309 which fixes this issue.
