After an image is uploaded, its name is shown when you mouse over:
It doesn’t make a lot of sense for users nor for SEO.change that name after upload .
NB. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to ask users to rename images before uploading because:
They often do screenshots and the file name is given to the screenshot automatically and copied to the clipboard.
The often just copy a URL to an existing image on the net and just insert it.

This was already suggested. The uploader will keep the original file names.
So we’ve had a couple of internal complaints about the fact that the image download name is the sha1 representation and not the actual name of the image (which is available, because you see it in the lightbox). It seems the “actual” name is stored in the metadata of the image.
Is the team open to a PR that retrieves that name and uses it for the download?

I cannot find where there is such a proposition, could you please point me to the message which discusses the same that’s being proposed in this topic?

There was previous discussion of this, but it is a lot of work to implement and far simpler to simply respect the filename that is uploaded.
