It is, in doc/scheme-gnunet.tm in the git repo!  And after running
"make", you can find the HTML in doc/scheme-gnunet.html and
doc/scheme-gnunet.pdf.

There's some comments and docstrings in the various .scm source files
explaining things.  It's not really ‘Knuth-level’ literate programming
though, were the ‘executable’ source code is extracted from the manual,
if that's what you were referring to here.
