Where does it say that the authors/contributors of LumoSQL is the SQLite team or from the SQLite team? There are meeting notes at https://lumosql.org/src/lumosql/file?name=doc/meetings/lumo-... which does not overlap with the SQLite developers page: https://sqlite.org/crew.html or with commits going a year back on SQLite's Fossil timeline.

The strongest the README gets is saying "The LumoSQL and SQLite projects are cooperating", which is closer than any other effort I've seen, and welcome if the SQLite project ever wants to swap out the underlying storage engine, but doesn't really mean that the SQLite team "works on LumoSQL" or vice versa. Certainly it looks like LumoSQL has put significant work into the cooperation by using Fossil and by "not forking" which may have made the cooperation palatable.

Also, the SQLite project has been consistent on wanting to write all the code for SQLite themselves and not merge in patches (https://sqlite.org/copyright.html). Them working on another exploratory project would be a way for them to absorb those changes back into SQLite in a way that wouldn't be incompatible, but it would have to be the same team doing the changes for that to be consistent.

Well, it mentions fossil, so...

Fossil is an SCM system - https://fossil-scm.org/. Are you suggesting that every piece of software ever kept in, say, git repositories are therefore maintained by the same team?
