Something isn't clear to me here and I'm concerned about this setup: how
are we gonna go from the "archived number" to the "real" monorepo issues?
I don't even understand the need for the archive repository right now: why
can't we just redirect  llvm.org/PR to the monorepo issue?

I hope we don't lose this mapping, that seems quite critical to me.

Thanks,
