Where to put info about apps in OS X?

When I download .dmg files for apps,
the decoded app itself goes in "Applications" at sysadmin level.

But I can't find a satisfactory place for any informative leftovers that
aren't automatically installed as the required support for the app:
- readme's, histories, and other stuff from the .dmg
- webpages, usenet articles and the like that have useful comments
to save from the build-up of deciding to go for that app.

Nor have I a satisfactory place for the .dmg itself.

I would be grateful for a few pointers of what seems logical/manageable
to you.

Should I be trying to construct homemade packages to put all the bits in
within the Application folder? And if so, what is the route for that?
