Software Heritage is a European-funded effort to archive software source code of all kinds, including all the versions thereof. It offers instant saving of individual repos, slightly delayed saving of bulk amounts of repos (restricted to privileged users) and regularly saving all repos on a forge. The archive is publicly available and the LWN article "Preserving the global software heritage" gives more details.
