Well, yes.  Material like your bundle should be available more
easily.  A longer time ago I've started to collect contributions at

  http://groff.ffii.org/groff/contrib/

and right now I've added it to

  http://groff.ffii.org/groff/contrib/documentation/ps-in-groff/

Sorry for the delay of three years...

Because Stallman has decided to use texinfo as the official GNU
documentation tool.  The importance of GNU roff itself is
acknowledged, but it is not as important as, say, gcc.

Because noone steps forward and helps.
