there could be an archive, but currently they are deleted, afaik.
Why don't you just save an outdated: true/false information? Those posts
could just be not displayed by default, but if someone ever needs one of
those, he could just click the magical "Show all"-button. And for the
admins/maintainers just a per post "mark outdated"/"mark relevant" link.
Because the AppDB isn't supposed to be a forum. I can see no useful
reason for keeping old comments, and "Same here" comments are plain
useless, but are left anyway.
I would also like to point out that comments being deleted has been
standard since long before I'd even heard of Wine. Few maintainers do
this themselves, but it's usually left up to admin to do it.
Nobody said anything when I raised this:

Probably because it is the obvious resolution to old and useless
comments - delete them.
