Your status reasoning seems weak. Archive? Version control will have it in history. Maybe rarely you want it around for active references. Otherwise you likely don't need it.
The author bit is solved with version control. Much better than a line that can get bogged down with multiple authors or be outdated.
It doesn't feel like you're being old fashioned or old school. It seems like you're being a bit stubborn in your ways. Version control is a good thing. Perhaps there's better ways. Going your way with not having an sort of real alternative isn't right though.
Your other reasons like coming back years later can be applied to version control too. It's helpful to have commits that have diffs, time stamps, author, and other meta data. Imagine having to come back 3 years later without any of that. Commit history might help you remember and manage your project more quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
