One one hand, SQLite would probably be a more expansive project if it allowed contributions in the same way PostgreSQL does. On the other hand it would likely make it both a larger and more complex project.
I think a better tradeoff would be making the case for why SQLite should have the hooks needed to implement the edge computing bits desired without forking the project itself or attempting to replace what has made it so great for so many years.
This approach would allow the extra behaviors to be managed out of tree and allow more free experimentation as a result without prematurely landing on "blessed" approaches to these very complex and frankly not yet well solved problems.
