I see the biggest point as missing from the list/plan posted by Dennis E. Hamilton: an easy upgrade path for current OpenOffice users, to make sure that people aren't inconvenienced and that the efforts OpenOffice contributors' made for the growth FLOSS aren't wasted.

Perhaps some of the install/upgrade facilities could automate the switch to LibreOffice, and/or the most visited URLs (such as /download/ on the OOo website and /files/latest/download on Sourceforge) could be redirected to the LibreOffice equivalents.

I'm sure the devs can find technically suitable solutions. If ASF can't handle such long-term preservation, another stable entity with long-term interest in the task could be transferred all assets and tasked with the goal (for instance The Document Foundation?).

P.s.: To archive a MediaWiki website, you can create a static copy with mwoffliner https://github.com/kiwix/mwoffliner and serve it with kiwix-serve; all history should be preserved with dumps on the Internet Archive: https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam/wiki/Tutorial . Software for WARC can also prove useful for any website.
