Plus) Some of the source codes are not publicly opened unless they release the main-net. When they open the main-net, we could start the project!

I don't think that support for yet another bitcoin fork is anywhere on our roadmap. Personally, I also see no reason to support it, but if someone makes a non-intrusive pr, I will consider merging it.
