Why should Fedora provide resources for those maintainers. For a
project, F30 is EOL. That's it. Fedora is not going to support your
updates or anything like that. Doing that would give users false
assumptions that there are still updates coming in and all their
security bugs will be fixed.

If you want to provide any updates, you are free to do it in some other
place, be that COPR (though they also disable EOL chroots quite fast)
or your own buildsystem somewhere else.
