Post-Adobe future : maintaining a new fork?

Forking the discussion in issue #15329 into one focused on the following question : is there anyone within the Brackets community who's willing to start a sustainable fork, and has the time, energy & skills to maintain it?

When I say "anyone", it's clearly not going to be a single person.

As users, are we willing to financially support that development (as much as we all can afford, of course), after years of using this Adobe-backed project for free?

(I'm just starting the discussion, not offering to start that fork)
