The tarball of the full CVS repository is at
http://www.ffii.org/~jeroen/groffcvs.tar.gz

The list of members of the groff mailinglists is at
http://www.ffii.org/~jeroen/groff.members, the mbox archive at
http://www.ffii.org/~jeroen/groff.mbox. For the groff-commit list
it's http://www.ffii.org/~jeroen/groff-commit.members and
http://www.ffii.org/~jeroen/groff-commit.mbox.

I think that's all. If more things are needed, just ask.
