Archive this repo?

[mattip]

Should we archive the repo? It has not been updated for a few years and is showing bitrot. In particular, the version of django used needs an update. I think these days users are better off with the local displays, using something like https://github.com/Cskorpion/vmprof-firefox-converter to view the data in firefox.

Well, I'm still using this as a local viewer from time to time. I've never tried vmprof-firefox-converter though.

what does it mean to archive the rep?

[mattip]

It means:

• the repo will not accept new issues or PR
• there will be a message at the top: this repo is archived
• I will stop getting security messages from dependabot about how django is outdated here and the version used has a CVE against it.

Admins can still manipulate the repo and can restore it to non-archive state if they wish.

I personally find this "planned obsolescence" quite tiring and I would prefer to not do anything about it. However, I'm not going to work actively on it.
