Yes it is.

The TeX Policy hasn't been updated in ages :-(

Hmm, let us see the status, searching in Contents-*.gz I find
the following packages:
auto-multiple-choice-doc-pdf - needs fixing
feynmf - needs fixing
latex-make - needs fixing
mathpartir - needs fixing
prerex - needs fixing
preview-latex-style - needs fixing
luasseq - needs fixing
bibtool - I will do myself
tipa-doc - I will do myself
multex-base - no idea whether still useful/usable?
jbibtex-base - no idea whether still useful/usable?
jtex-base - no idea whether still useful/usable?
ptex-base - not installable with texlive, so no texdoc
I can make NMUs for all of them, in a blink.
THe most needed one is probably preview-latex-style which needs
anyway some care (I have a private build/update on my machine).
All the best
Norbert
