Info manuals to install (alien.top)

We all read (???) the Steve Yegge post where he says he as "hundreds" of info manuals installed in his computer.
The thing is, after quite a bit of web searching, I only managed to get git, gitman, Python, Common Lisp, and SICP.

Is there any repository/FTP/storage that has a treasure trove of info manuals ready to add to Emacs?

Thank you!

Isn't most GNU Project documentation in texinfo format? My top level info buffer has 377 lines, but many of those are for emacs modes or coreutils commands - do those count as individual manuals?

I find that the texinfo is not always available to download, but is in the source and gets installed when I install the relevant package.
