Well, he did while he was alive - he helped me and hundreds of others
out many times.

But the issue of what happens to a personal archive when it's not
explicitly written out in a legal will is hard.  You and I may think
we know what Don would've wanted, but I look back at my pestering him
to make off-site backups in the 90's and maybe the issue isn't so
clear-cut.  He was always polite in his replies to my pestering, and
the answer was always "no" to any mass duplication of the archive.  Now
I have to find the old E-mails and see if I can extract what reason
there was.
