The genus is definitely Cucurbita, and species probably pepo.

Lightly drying seeds and having packing medium only lightly moistened can extend the life of jackfruit to many months without them over sprouting.Too dry and they die but too moist and they don't make it either. The same goes for other artocarpus that can be extended to months in bags with small holes, lots of packing media that is on the dry side. Practise at home with vermiculite and you may be surprised.
The question was for mainly seeds being kept in storage, but i believe like you have stated if they are stored in conditions to keep them viable they would most likely sprout.
I should rephrase the question then, do they go into dormancy if kept dry and would they be able to sprout when planted.
