Description

Since it's now possible to archive projects on PyPI, we should do so whenever we remove stubs. We should also retroactively archive the projects for already removed stubs.

Research direction

Start by locating the workflow used when stubs are removed and identifying how the corresponding PyPI projects are managed. Check how PyPI archiving can be applied both to newly removed stubs and to projects removed previously; done means both cases are covered without affecting active stub packages.
