I think that's a good way of going about it. From a cursory glance it 
looks like the most popular out-of-tree libraries (s, f, a, ht, epl, 
async, ov, popup, uuidgen) have most of their usage examples and 
documentation in the README.
Even if NonGNU's supposed to be a bit more curated, having everybody 
synchronize their README with docstrings or texi manuals might be a bit 
wasteful. I don't know if there's a way to do that automatically.
