As a minimal token that anybody might possibly be using it, I would like
to see it work at least once. Since you said you have arch repos, can
you confirm that it does something?

Those repos are in offline/offsite storage and I do not have time to
retrieve them.  I've forgotten how to use tla to get a public repo,

If tools like git-remote-hg with tests and active maintanance and many
users cannot be in the core, why should 'git archimport' be?

Perhaps it's easier to deal with a benign, unmaintained tool than
to deal with you as a maintainer?

Would you at least be OK with a demotion to contrib/?

I don't see the point of moving it around, even.
