Those files are created by `indxbib'.

Mhmm. Basically, you are right. However, given that groff's `refer'
implementation doesn't come with a default database, I see no urgent
reason to change that. For practically all purposes, you don't use
the default but your own one, which can be specified with option `-p'.

This would be useful.

Maybe, but there was no single request to add them over the years...
