Description
Currently, the initial plugin zip that is uploaded for a newly submitted plugin is deleted as soon as the plugin is approved and a svn repo is created. This occasionally causes a problem because there are circumstances when it would be useful to refer to the old zip upload, both for approved plugins and for those that wind up with a different status.
Instead of deleting the attachment on status change, I'd suggest we schedule deletion via a cron job:
- 30 days after changing to a rejected/deleted status; or
- 12 months after changing to a published status.

This seems like a long time to hold a zip for a published plugin.
I'm thinking maybe something shorter, like, 30 days after initial release is committed? Maybe keeping the ZIP around for a maximum of 12 months otherwise? (Such as if the author never comes back to commit a release)
