What kind of archive do you have in mind?

(If the developers would switch to git, every user would have the
complete archive at hand. :)

You can get an unreliable clone at
    https://github.com/gnuplot/gnuplot
and I have a complete backup of the CVS repository should anyone need
it (but it's about 171 MB, so I'm unable to send it over email).

But it would be sooooo great if the developers would switch to any other VCS.
