This makes sense to me. I was concerned about what would happen to the
old repo, so archiving it seems like a good idea.
We even still have the archive of Gentoo-based ebuilds, in case we need
them:

audacious-qt is probably the better choice. Gentoo also calls it
audacious-qt, so there is some precedent.
Okay, I will move that over to user/ soon-ish.

I think you forgot to finish this part.
As someone who *uses* three of those plugins on my own system, I would
be very disappointed to have to give them up. But I don't want to have
to maintain ffmpeg, and I don't think I could track their releases.
Does anyone else want to?
> freetype:
There is something weird going on with the LCD filtering such that only
"lcdnone" is usable on Adélie last time I tried, and even then there are
still some visual artifacts. I'm not sure if this is related to
infinality or not but it's worth investigating.
I'm not seeing visual artifacts anywhere, on my desktop 21" wide-screen
flat panel monitor, my laptop 13" panel, or my 17" CRT. Is it only in
some software or does it affect all X clients? Maybe start a new thread
about that.
The rest of your proposals make sense to me.
Now we just have to find willing maintainers for the packages that need
them. :)
Best,
