There's nothing ID-Template-specific about the script (https://github.com/martinthomson/i-d-template/blob/master/archive_repo.py) -- you could theoretically download the script directly and point it to any repo, whether you're an owner or not.  It only requires a GitHub token with read access to the repo in question.

If a WG didn't do the CI setup, though I would strongly encourage them to do so, the Secretariat could use the tool directly to generate an archive and store it somewhere.

So in order to do a backup if the WG uses your CI tooling to save data in the repo, then anyone can clone the repo and it's all set.  If they don't use this, then the secretariat will need to be an owner to use other tooling to do a backup.
