If I am not mistaken, you don't understand why someone would be donating their time to what they believe is a good cause, if they do it anonymously?

Some people do good (up to everyone to interpert their own way what good is) out of conviction, not for the thanks. That itself makes them "feel good".

Project Gutenberg would not exist without people like this.
