If you fix a single typo, you can no longer credit them.

You completely miss Harry's point.
Harry has created carefully crafted and thoroughly proofed ebook editions of the works of Charles Dickens. The original source text was from Project Gutenberg, but the Dickens works were among the earliest contributions to Project Gutenberg. They date from well before Distributed Proofreaders became the feed for posted PG texts, and vary widely in quality and accuracy. Harry has done significant work in producing clean and accurate texts, and his versions may well be definitive. He'd love to give them to PG, but can't find anyone to take them.
Current submissions to PG all go through the DP proofing process, but there seems no way to get
existing PG texts dating from before DP resubmitted for cleanup and quality control.
