Gutenberg, Delphi, Standard, etc. metadata source plugins

Perhaps I'm missing the obvious...but after a number of different searches, both within this sub-Forum as well as across the broader Calibre forums, I have been unable to find metadata source plugins for a number of free/paid ebook internet sources, including: Project Gutenberg, Delphi, Standard Books, Manybooks, Internet Archives, and others. (Although I did find a plugin for the Baen website, formerly known as "webscription").

I'm a bit surprised...I would have thought these sources would have been incorporated into some plugin long ago.

Those sites often have epubs with metadata that differs from other sites (e.g., Amazon, Goodreads, etc.), in such things as translations, editions, collections, even artists or illustrators.

Is there a plugin which incorporates a number of those sources? How do others incorporate that metadata into their Calibre entry.

Just as examples, I currently have three different versions of Dante's Divine Comedy (one from Gutenberg with illustrations by Gustave Dore); four different translations of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and three different translations of Beowulf. So have complete metadata is important for my library.

TIA for any help!
