Status of incubation (and can we archive this repo)?

Is this spec dead? See w3c/permissions#159.

It's mentioned and required by Time Limited Permissions spec. See https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/TimeLimitedPermissions/Explainer.md#api-proposal.

There's no active work on implementing this in Chromium, and Firefox especially doesn't like it. If a compelling use case comes up that isn't adequately handled by per-API request functions, someone could revive it, but it'll be simpler to work on adding things to the per-API request functions. e.g. time-limiting could be a pattern on those functions rather than a new parameter to permissions.request().

@jyasskin, given the lack of activity in the last few years, I'm wondering if we can archive this repo?

I don't see any problem with archiving this repo. We can always un-archive it later if someone wants to revive it.
