Issue tracking support is great. I hope they add web login (maybe through ActivityPub and/or OAuth), and a wiki tab. This would put it on par with Fossil, which is similarly decentralized but has a bespoke version control which makes rewriting history and other git workflows difficult.

Fossil is primarily a DVCS, like git, but aimed at a different set of users (e.g. smaller projects) and includes decentralised tickets etc., but in practice it is easiest to have a centralised server. Its easy to run your own, but there is hosting available for Fossil: https://chiselapp.com/

Redicale seems much more decentralised. Rather than making it easy to run your own server it eliminates the server altogether. A more radical approach :).

it would probably be easier to build something like Radicale on top of Fossil because all that is missing is a way of finding to peers, and connecting to them without a server (e.g. from dynamic IPs, behind NAT etc.).

Is it actually? I never got the impression SQLite was a smaller project, but I'd confess to not knowing much about how it is organized.

Small in terms of team size, not impact.

SQLite is developed by 3 people. They don't accept outside contributions.
