But it doesn't look like a fork[1 to me - liblbfgs is a C library, and
this is a header-only C++ library.

So it looks more like a conversion to me and I don't see an obvious way
forward how both projects should co-exist without duplicating all the
code in one repo.

Yes, and that looks like a rather strong reason for me to package it. I did so and uploaded to NEW
I then patched bustools to be independent of vendored deps,
so I guess all good now
