I doubt that storing a trans is much of a problem. After all, many of us have transmissions and the like that set out for the better part of 50 years and still work fine.
I would drain and replace the gear oil and keep covered, but still allow the air to circulate. Use clean gear oil. Waste oil contains contaminants and corrosives which might damage brass/bronze.
Sealing up a trans in a bag is asking for disaster unless you can insure that the inside is dry and is going to stay that way like the government did.
