Could I just do it? Not right now. My programing experience is python scripts and embedded systems and I have no knowledge of anything sysadmin or infrastructure.
People are always complaining about whats around and we have lots of smart techy people here, so why not?

What is a gallery site? Like e621/FA? Assuming e621 counts I think that’s going to be a tall order since the booru system works very well for image searching, the e6 community puts in a ton of effort to tag images properly, and hosting costs are probably expensive.
Do you happen to remember what exactly people are complaining about?
furaffinity, DeviantArt, weasyl, SoFurry, InkBunnny… A more art and commission focused site as opposed to a forum (this), or micro-blog (Mastodon, twitter).
Each one has its own issues I’ve seen discussed.
FA, moderation, photography, and more recently a very ambiguous moderation change. Every few years they change something and people flee, but its where the most people are so most come back.
DA: AI scraping, art theft
weasyl: dead looking, no comments from developers for a few years now.
SF: old/awkward
IB: That’s where all the cub artists went.I’m sure there are more, but this is what I remember off the top of my head.
Mm yes I agree - it would be hard to improve on E6. FA has its problems, but it’s not that bad.
e6 as a repo is outstanding, but as a gallery, its frontend is a bit inconvenient.
(tho I’m working on an Android app for that (and other boorus + inkbunny as well))
