The reason for releasing that fast is Richard Stallman's idea so that
people get a Y2k-safe version before Y2k arrives...

Good idea.

AFAIK, the groff package is Y2k-safe.

You can extract this from the NEWS file.

> * bugs list

It may be possibly best to create this from scratch.  Additionally,
there is the PROBLEMS file...

> * contributors list

Buried in the ChangeLog files.  You are invited to write a script file
for extracting the names :-)

> * license statement

GNU, as usual.

> * license statement for the web site itself?

Good question.  Maybe you can find a suggestion for a licence on
www.gnu.org.

> * contact info

Given in the README file.

> Should we give some indication of how mature it is?

Everything is mature except grohtml -- this is indicated in the README
file.
