I submit the list of errors I find to PG. They sometimes apply the corrections, but it may take some time. They must check all corrections manually, ideally make sure they correspond to the same edition that was originally used, apply the changes to all the formats, etc. I guess they are short of manpower.
A much more effective of helping is Distributed Proofreaders, where the changes are made
before the books are submitted to PG. There's a "smoothreading" stage for those that just want to read a book.
