GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 15: Henchmen

I suspect one difficulty with a Rogue's Gallery is that everyone wants something different from it. Play styles, power levels, and campaign themes vary so much that it's hard to make one product that everyone - or even most folks - would be satisfied with. For example, while b-dog wants a book of monstrous tribes, I wouldn't have any interest in that except as a quick "here are tribal lenses for X archetypes" segment in a larger book.

Having a single book with multiple applications (ie, templates that can serve as low-level Heroes, Allies, or foes) seems a better approach. When I pick up DF 15 (soon, budget permitting) it will be as much for help defining the opposition as for sidekicks.
