Of course. But I'd suggest putting it into ELPA, if only because then 
Emacs 24 users would also be able to enjoy it.

There is the issue of another mode with the same name, though: 
https://github.com/joshwnj/json-mode

It's also relatively simple, and it's distributed via MELPA. I've used 
it for .json files for a while.

Maybe you could contact the author, and agree on a merge of some kind? I 
guess what's important is that Josh doesn't feel left out, and that the 
one resulting mode doesn't lose on features.

If Josh doesn't have copyright assignment signed, you might have to 
re-implement a command or two yourself.
