If you want an automatic archive for dropped packages, MAKE ONE! Get a
domain name, rent a VPS with lots of disc space, subscribe a mail
account to gentoo-dev, write a small script that parses last-rites
announcements and automatically archives the affected ebuilds and their
sources.
You have to realize that there are only three ways to get something done
in the non-commercial open-source space:
1. convince someone else that it's fun;
2. convince someone else that it's important; or
3. do it yourself.
We the Gentoo developers strongly believe that this project is not fun
and not important. So if want dropped packages to be automatically
archived, I suggest that you volunteer for the job of automatically
archiving them.
-Alexandre.
