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
Last time it was not the reason why it failed. It failed because FESCo refused, and asked the board that certainly refused too. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pertusus/Draft_keeping_infra_open_for_EO... especially the discussion.
It could also have failed because of the lack of contributors, but it didn't went far enough to be able to judge.
