It is probably not possible for them to do that.
Over time, they have used a variety of combinations of in-house and contracted programmers.
And a variety of different build systems.

It isn't that they couldn't recreate the software sources, but that they probably can't duplicate the infrastructure that made it happen.
As in, perhaps there is one or two people who have (had) knowledge that can't be duplicated and they can no longer be reached.

A similar thing happens here, with our add-ins.
An author with some special skills goes away and their add-in can no longer be continued.
