Sure.  Creating them locally is simple.  Then all you'd have to do is
get it past review, get the primary Xorg maintainer to agree, and
support it for the entire release.  Which includes handling all the bug
reports for it.  Which you might get a lot of and won't be able
to do a damn thing about because of binary drivers.

Maintaining free software is like having a kid.  Anyone can make it,
but it takes someone that actually cares to maintain it well.

I believe that shows your fundamental lack of understanding about
Fedora and open source software on many levels.
