1. Clone the repository. Make an insignificant change to the initial commit in order to change all commit hashes. Push to github as a new repository.
2. Create a password "protected" zip file (or smaller volumes) containing the repository. Use a password that's easily found in common wordlists. Commit it to another project and push to github.

This isn't really much of a help. There is no danger of losing access to the archive; it's popular enough that's it's essentially impossible to wipe from the internet. The issue is that now there is no central place where developers can pool their efforts to keep the code working. And it does need constant updates to address changes in the websites it downloads from.
