That's the very problem of tooling projects: they are very interesting for users, but unfortunately those users don't have the skills to enhance the tools. This is where the distinction between tools and frameworks makes a big difference in the way a community can be built and the motivation and ability for people to contribute.

Everything is always possible. But it's a bit late to express interest in Lepido now that it has been archived. Feel free to revive it in another context if you feel the itch though.
