 There doesn't seem to be any action triggered when comments for a post is
 closed by WordPress itself.

 The function in question is called _close_comments_for_old_posts in wp-
 includes/comment.php

 The use-case I want to support is dispatching a request to external
 archiving system after WP closes the comments.

 Since comments also could be closed from a number of other reasons, I
 suggest adding just an event for the particular case that a comment gets
 closed by WP itself. That is, when the option close_comments_for_old_posts
 is set and close_comments_days_old is > 0.

 I can provide a patch for this, but would first check if such an action is
 considered interesting enough to be added or if there are other ways to
 achieve the same use-case that I'm not aware of.
