Anyone should free to fix it, it's not difficult IMO.

Not scripted, copy by hand. Might be good to script. Need to cvs remove
any pages that are no longer present, cvs add new ones, etc.

If you mean eg
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ada-mode.html
then you never need to change that page. If a new texinfo manual is
added, just copy an existing index page and change by hand as needed.
