And certainly, yes, I have to work with git all the time, and I don't
like its basic model of revision and commit structure, or its
philosophy of rewriting history as a feature. I am impressed with how
it stores history though.
Git also has github going for it, which is pretty huge. Indefero
would be good, but my experience with it so far have been lukewarm.
Anyhow, the story is that Monotone is looking for a new core team? Is
that a correct understanding?

Technically not true, but I take your point. It can certainly be
non-trivial to find work that you just know you committed. Not
(ordinarily) impractical. The user manual has a section on it
("Recovering lost changes").

Certainly true. And mercurial seems quite attractive to many: it's
similarly fast and space-efficient but with a saner command set.

Could be. I've not noticed any particular problems: for me git's
merging has been adequate, really fast, and the rerere support
allows it
to cope with repeated similar merges (admittedly that seems quite
hacky,
but it works OK). Quite possibly I'm just used to the pain.
What I'm not sure is, given that someone finds the git commands
confusing (which isn't difficult to believe) and doesn't like
mercurial,
how plausible the monotone story is.
I think I'd look at bazaar and fossil next (not sure in what order).
fossil also uses sqlite (is originally written by the author of
sqlite)
and gives a wiki, bug tracker, web interface as well as a DVCS.
