If you elect me as your dictator, all Archived repositories on GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg/etc will be required by law to say why they are archived.
The penalty for non-compliance shall be a light (for I am merciful) public flogging, repeated only once a month (for I am merciful) until compliance is achieved.
For those who cannot muster even a sentence of explanation, several generic but sufficient explanations will be made available for you to copy-paste from (for I am merciful), such as
"this package is still perfectly good, but I am no longer maintaining it",
"I have realized there are flaws in the design which are best solved with an alternative API/workflow/etc",
"this was just experimental, it's probably still very broken" and
"this has been superseded by a superior [upstream | 3rd-party] solution".
