A while back ldraw was going to have a page for people to submit older lego
offical model. However, the debate of how to name the models was never
agreed upon and since then nothing became of it. I'm getting OLD and
SINICAL about these things but I wish you LOTS of luck trying to get
cooperation for this to happen. The best way, IMO, is to start asking for
people to give YOU their offical models and create a folder in brickshelf
with a) a small image of the model and the ldraw file.

I'm not sure the reason but I would image what you stated above it probably
true. In any case here is the contact info I could find for brickshelf.com
