Indeed, this bothers me too, but it's the way how gnulib works. Note
that only the necessary gnulib files are added to a groff tarball, and
not the whole repository itself.

Definitely, since there are a lot of old functions in groff that
should be replaced with newer, better, and safer ones from gnulib.
