Perhaps you could suggest it to Spinrad. He seems pretty quick at answering comments to his blog, and he
posted quite recently about e-books in December.
Apparently the reason why half his self-pub catalogue seems US-restricted is because he accepted an offer from Orion for the UK rights for some of them and has persuaded them to get US rights as well.
So hopefully they'll be putting out nicer versions of his books if he can't do so himself.
Self-publishing one's backlist may work great for some authors, but only if they've got the time/skills/inclination to do it properly or hire someone to do so.
