PCRE 1 needs to remain as a fully supported compatibility library for

In the end, my suggestion if you are unable to deal with the
security
vulnerabilities is to simply orphan the library and let someone else pick it
up. (If nobody else does, I will, because at least 3 of my packages depend
on it.)
And thank you for volunteering. This is the obvious way forward
in a volunteer community.
I would, of course, recommend you request upstream commit
access to support PCRE1 going forward, as (clearly) more
than just Fedora will benefit from someone willing to take on
such support.
Thanks!
