Agreed.

My "yeah but" on your proposal is that we should do something smaller.

Update datatracker to include a pointer to a URL where the archive of the
draft can be mirrored.   Have the IETF git pull it.

Whether or not we make that available by default someplace is secondary, the
point is to archive it.    That's a simple first step, and maybe it would
help with our blue-sheet equivalent.

The issues are another question, I believe that they can be retrieved by
RESTful interface from github, but I would not be surprised if they also live
in a magic git repo :-)
