How can I add something to an existing packages that was not written by me? Is that covered by the LPPL and by CTAN's upload mechanism?
Anyway, I've written a tiny program that looks for non-existing and non-PDF docs. I've attached the program and the lists that are created on my system (excluding the ucs and german packages). To date, it lists 1213 packages without any documentation (that's around 42% of all packages), and 316 packages without PDF manual (11% of all packages).
The new texdoc doesn't seem to warn about switching to full search mode any more. The previous version of the program also listed those packages as undocumented, adding some 400 more to the list.
