Nope. None of them even left Hong Kong with him (as Greenwald and he have explained).
I really do suggest you read the history of this and Greenwald's book.
Snowden very specifically did not want to just dump documents on the world. He thought that it wouldn't be useful (too much data), could compromise things that shouldn't actually be compromised, and might even get some folks named in them (or using things in them) killed. He specifically gave the documents to journalists to avoid this and to take himself out of the equation. He doesn't tell Greenwald and others what to publish. Those folks decide on their own in their role as journalists. They decide what the public needs to know. Snowden's role in this is done with the handover beyond him giving some commentary.
You may not like this but this is how it is and nothing is going to change it unless Greenwald or Poitras just put the docs up on bittorrent, which they aren't going to do.
