The process is by way of raising it to Sysadmin.
As a general rule, those projects which have not seen a release in a long
period of time, have very little activity in them, and whose last
developers are no longer particularly active will be archived on request.
Note that you can always fork a repository into your personal namespace
even if it is archived.
Once you have a fork you can bring it back up to speed and then apply for
it to be reinstated.
