This is a pretty silly objection. There are plenty of software projects named from a variety of languages not native to the creator of the package. And Jäger has so many neutral meanings and even for a German wouldn't first bring thoughts of the Jagdstaffel I don't think... Also writing the ä as ae is very common for those who have keyboards without umlaut characters... I've seen it lots of times and doesn't look too weird.

Most Americans in my experience have have little to no knowledge of WWI, let alone the Jadgstaffl. To object to the name on such grounds seems pedantic in the extreme to me. Edit: typo
