It maybe possible but I don't know if the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy's source code from Raven is buildable without errors. I know the OpenJK project but it does not have multiplayer for Jedi Outcast.

Unfortunately, for Heretic II, Call of Duty, Soldier of Fortune, I know that their engines are closed source, only the SDK code is available. Maybe because their developers used some kind of closed-source middleware/libraries or just refused to release the engine source to the public.
And that's why I don't think porting them to idTech4A++ is possible.

The game was originally released for Windows and Mac OS. Although a planned PlayStation 2 port was cancelled, the game was later released digitally for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, via downloadable content for its sequel.and also used idtech 3 engine

I think this is extremely unlikely and unlikely to happen during this year because the project author is busy and doesn't have time to bring these games to the project. Although I agree that the project should improve and not to limit by only idtech4-based games and previous Quake games. But implementing these games which n0n3m4 have not ported to Android, is much more difficult and laborious than just reimplement n0n3m4 xxx4a apps to idTech4A++ because there is no system Android-specific, launcher and native interface code and it should be written from scratch, not copypaste.
