There's no point in changing the submitter for archived bugs. Anyone
who actually wanted to contact you about an archived bug will figure
it out when they see other bugs which have changed the submitter. [And
normally, they'd be contacting the maintainer anyway, not the
submitter.]
Whatever tool you used to do this should be changed not to attempt to
change submitter on archived bugs. [That was not the point of allowing
for the unarchiving of bugs...]

All of these changes to bug reports are tracked, and it would be
possible to write scripts to automatically revert such changes, so
there's little concern here.
