I think that Russell T Davies likely chose Doctor Who and the Time War with foreknowledge of the tweet-along, and it is highly likely that Chris Chibnall was made aware of the event eventually - especially as the hashtag was later used for the official BBC website release of the story.

However, the fact that Chibnall approached Davies' on his own - without any knowledge or involvement of the Doctor Who: Lockdown! event - strengthens the idea that these are simply adjacent releases and not part of the main range. I think Farewell, Sarah Jane is a unique case and deserves to be featured with the other Emily Cook produced releases. I stand by the idea that Cook's comment was clear, and that the official releases are those produced by her.
