admin/notes/bugtracker:

    ** How does archiving work?
    You can still send mail to a bug after it is closed.  After 28 days with
    no activity, the bug is archived, at which point no more changes can
    be made.  If you try to send mail to the bug after that (or merge with
    it), it will be rejected.  To make any changes, you must unarchive it
    first:

    unarchive 123

    The bug will be re-archived after the next 28 day period of no activity.
