Let's say I start a project and host it on greenrd.org. Then later I decide
to hand maintainership to someone else and wash my hands of it. The new
archive will be tagged off my one, and it will be named using the email
address of the new maintainer. Which correctly represents the history of
maintainership.

That's why I think with open source projects it's a good idea to have
one archive per project. (Although you can have subprojects which are
not likely to be separated being inside the same archive.)
