Take over RubyGems name?

[fractaledmind]

@ronbee: I am hoping that you see this and that you might be open to letting me take over the lite gem name on RubyGems? I am working actively at the intersection of SQLite and Ruby, and I'd love to be able to use this name. Just to demonstrate how deeply I care about and have worked in this area, here is an overview of recent work:

You can see my pull requests into Rails here:

• https://github.com/rails/rails/pulls/fractaledmind

You can also see the pull requests that I worked on with Mike Dalessio on the sqlite3-ruby gem to improve extensibility and default configuration:

• feat: allow setting sqlite compiler flags via extconf args sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby#402
• ext: compile sqlite with WAL_SYNCHRONOUS=1 and --enable-fts5 sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby#408

I have also published the activerecord-enhancedsqlite3-adapter gem, which provides the full suite of features I've worked on for ActiveRecord and SQLite3, even those that didn't make the cut for the 7.1 release of Rails:

I wrote a blog post laying out the full scope of work I've done in the SQLite + Ruby ecosystem in September of this year:

You can find on my blog some podcast episodes where I have been discussing SQLite in the context of web applications:
