Have there been such an attempt made to make the comprehensive list of all New Testament scrolls ever found?

Accepted answer

For the New Testament, yes. Though Wikipedia may not be a "scholarly" source I find it good for this sort of thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript#Listings

Also, in at least the UBS and NA, there is a list of manuscripts used to compile the "Greek New Testament." I think that the BHS contains something somewhat similar for the Hebrew Bible.

For the Greek Old Testament (i.e., "Septuagint"), there is also the Verzeichnis der griechischen Handschriften des Alten Testaments [= Catalogue of the Greek Manuscripts of the Old Testament], originally compiled by Alfred Rahlfs and published in 1914. It is available from Archive.org, or in a hi-res PDF from the GΓΆttingen Septuaginta-Unternehmen.

It was revised in 2004 by Detlef Fraenkel -- see the SBL bookreview for a description of the work, and the changes from Rahlfs' original edition.

[I know OP is interested in New Testament manuscripts, but this catalogue has many manuscripts that also contain NT material, and comments on the question suggest a slightly wider interest beyond the limits of the question as posed.]
