        Well, it's one possible scenario, but I was thinking along the lines
of "this project isn't private anymore, it now belongs in the public
archive". Or, even, "this archive will cease to exist, but I want to keep
one of its projects, let me move it into the public archive!"

        Good, thanks :)

        But how would you do it (considering the above, in which mirroring
wouldn't make much sense, or even wouldn't be possible)?

        Thanks again,
