I propose to have a documented process for archiving repositories. This should include details like:

  • Under what conditions a repository can be archived?
  • How is the decision to archive repository made?
  • What happens with the repository before and after the archival?
  • What documentation needs to be provided for users for the archived repository? (i.e. README.md updates etc.)

How do users of that current repo get notified that a repository has been archived? This is needed, so the current users can plan their migration

@iamsamirzon It's hard to inform all users of an open-source project. Maintainers can publish a blog post to share the archiviation information publicly.
