I guess it would be relatively easy to write a dynamic block for this.
The reason why I don't see an easy way yet to integrate it into org
core is the same why so far I have refrained from putting in your  
automatic
archiver:  Both depend on a particular definition of task/project and
how they are recognized.  If would not work (for example) for GTD
people who make a task active by assigning a context, for example.
