The patch was against the master branch (specifically 9bc0cc7fb), not
the maint branch which is the source of the ELPA archive.

I think this statement is a reply to me saying that "I'd guess that it's
uncommon to try to set the ARCHIVE tag at the file level [because...]".
To be clear, that didn't contain a claim one way or the other about
whether "#+FILETAGS: ARCHIVE" is a legitimate way to apply an archive
tag.  But based on me taking the time to look into a code change, it
probably doesn't surprise you that my first thought was "hmph, yeah,
seems like that _should_ work".

I sent out the patch so that others have the opportunity to provide
feedback on it as well as your initial message.  If no one does (which
is fine), at some point in the next few days I'll revisit the patch,
maybe inspect the surrounding code a bit more, and apply it (assuming I
don't end up convincing myself that it's a bad idea or needs more work).
