You are free to do this. The previous attempts to do this failed because not
enough people could be bothered to contribute. If you can find some other folks
who believe this is possible and between you the technical knowledge and large
amounts of time required then go for it. Nobody is stopping you or anyone else
producing updates to a Fedora release after its "officially" out of support.
