I don't have an easy way, but I have a pedantic way:

1. Set up the pgweb app[1]
2. Set up the requirements for the docload.py utility
(tools/docs/docload.py)
3. Download the release source PG12 all the way down. You would really
only need one, likely the latest (e.g. at the time of this writing 12.2,
11.7, ...)
4. Load each one into the database. You may need to explicitly create
the "Version" objects in the admin for pgweb
5. Write SQL to see which filenames are present in an earlier version
but not a later one.

Sounds interesting. There is presently a patch[3] that could/should help
to address this case. The challenge, outside of the file that was the
impetus for the patch, would be finding the forwarding addresses for the
new pages. I believe Step 5 in the above would help with that.

Thanks!
