This pull fixed some WCS related changes, please see comments in the PR:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/4586

I also grepped (at that time) some other key's which contained Qgis with
a capital Q (again see PR):

python/pyplugin_installer/installer_data.py:reposGroup =
"/Qgis/plugin-repos"
python/pyplugin_installer/installer_data.py:settingsGroup =
"/Qgis/plugin-installer"
python/pyplugin_installer/installer_data.py:seenPluginGroup =
"/Qgis/plugin-seen"
python/pyplugin_installer/installer_data.py:    ("Barry Rowlingson's
Repository",
"http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Qgis/Plugins/plugins.xml"),
python/pyplugin_installer/installer.py:        lastDirectory =
settings.value('/Qgis/plugin-installer/lastZipDirectory', '.')
python/pyplugin_installer/installer.py:
settings.setValue('/Qgis/plugin-installer/lastZipDirectory',
python/qsci_apis/PyQGIS-2.0.api:qgis.gui.QgsNewHttpConnection?1(QWidget
parent=None, QString baseKey="/Qgis/connections-wms/", QString
connName=QString.null, Qt.WindowFlags fl=QgisGui.ModalDialogFlags)
python/qsci_apis/PyQGIS-2.0.api:qgis.gui.QgsNewHttpConnection.__init__?1(self,
QWidget parent=None, QString baseKey="/Qgis/connections-wms/", QString
connName=QString.null, Qt.WindowFlags fl=QgisGui.ModalDialogFlags)

python/gui/qgsnewhttpconnection.sip:    QgsNewHttpConnection( QWidget
*parent /TransferThis/ = 0, const QString &baseKey =
"/Qgis/connections-wms/", const QString &connName = QString::null, const
Qt::WindowFlags &fl = QgsGuiUtils::ModalDialogFlags );
python/plugins/MetaSearch/dialogs/maindialog.py:        # stype = human
name,/Qgis/connections-%s,providername
python/plugins/MetaSearch/dialogs/maindialog.py:
self.settings.beginGroup('/Qgis/connections-%s' % stype[2])
python/plugins/MetaSearch/dialogs/maindialog.py:
self.settings.beginGroup('/Qgis/connections-%s' % stype[1])
python/plugins/MetaSearch/dialogs/maindialog.py:
self.settings.beginGroup('/Qgis/connections-%s' % stype[2])
python/plugins/MetaSearch/dialogs/maindialog.py:
self.settings.beginGroup('/Qgis/connections-%s' % stype[1])

But I understand now that yours is just about settings object/file, NOT
so much about the code that creates that settings?
