Maybe some of you can use such a macro...

======================================================================
.\"
.\" .uppercase in out
.\"
.\" Convert the contents of string with name `in' to uppercase
.\" and return the result in a string with name `out'.
.\"
.\" Note that this macro by default only translates the characters a-z;
.\" if you need other characters, define them in the strings
.\" `uppercase-set' and `uppercase-reset'. Both are used with the `.tr'
.\" request; the former to set the mapping, the latter to reset it.
