Most tooltips in the topbar are capitalized:
But not the reputation:
Let's capitalize your reputation!

I think the rationale is the same as the footer copyright being lower case.
I'll quote the same sentence from Jeff:
It's not a complete sentence, so it doesn't need to be capitalized. We don't capitalize the tabs on the user page, or the homepage, for example
So, the words "your reputation" can't really be seen as "complete sentence" that stands on its own, hence should not be capitalized.

2None of those are complete sentences that stand on their own since none of them has a verb. Dec 26, 2018 at 14:17

@terdon well, they are complete descriptions then, that describe something so can act as title. Dec 26, 2018 at 14:25

2Sure, but so's "Your reputation". I just don't see how that one is any different and since the rest are capitalized, it does seem reasonable (although certainly not urgent) to capitalize that one as well. Dec 26, 2018 at 14:28
