would it be possible to simply expose a durable target 
pointing to SRPMs, or of the entire archive [e.g., 1], which 
something like this mirroring script might then transit:

# lftp -f sclorg.conf

where sclorg.conf contains

mirror -c -e \
        -I "*/SRPMS/*"                                  \
        -I "*/sources/*"                                \
	-I "*src.rpm"					\
	-X "*"						\
	https://www.softwarecollections.org/archive/	\
	/var/ftp/pub/mirror/sclorg/

=============

which harvests just SRPMs.

ps -- the content in that new target may consist entirely of 
links and be made by something like this, automatically

I don't speculate as to the 'aging away' process as I don't 
quite understand what the process is, to be able to graft into 
it
