I agree with that, manage is not usable in this case.

Well, yes and no :) you can name the program but you also need to have
an ACK from community to accept that name.  "licito" is just a cool name
that doesn't tell you anything from the first glance what it is.  On the
other hand lcitool tells you that it's some kind of tool and that the
"lci" part specifies what kind of tool it is.  It's not only that I
don't personally like it but it also looks like some randomly chosen
name even though there is some pattern behind it.

I vote for lcitool instead of licito.
