If the only use case is helping people who don't know how to use git find deleted ebuilds, then just create a directory tree with everything that was ever in the Gentoo repo. That would be pretty easy to script. QA doesn't need to have anything to do with it.
I'm sorry for harping on that topic again, but if we had used grobian's initial proposal for git migration[0] - one repository per package, and the portage tree would be an aggregation of those - then we could have such a thing basically for free now.
But that's how it is now. Getting ebuilds from CVS attic could be done via the sources.g.o web interface even, no local checkout needed.
