Why not? As a consultant, this is one of the things that I do whenever I roll onto a long-standing project that's been unmaintained for more than a few months. Bugs reported in February of 2017? Should I be fixing that? Prioritising it?

Nope. Nope nope nope. Archive it all, and solicit new bug reports & feature requests.

Most people find it very hard to delete things. Even archiving it for later is harder than you'd think. Easing into it seems like a better approach if you haven't run across this concept before.

Clearly, you don't have that problem, so go for it!
