I don't see a need for Attic to have write access to the repos. No further code
development will be done.
I trust Sebb's judgement, since he is the one who has the most recent
experience with handling project retirement. So his comments on the damage that
is caused by the rename are
yes, many improvements in the process were done in recent years to avoid
requiring write access (because this was the step in the process that was the
most time/energy consuming between Attic members and infra)
now that requiring write access means not only cumbersome efforts but also
breaking
