The two Davids maintain their own productions, which should not be messed with.  DPrice is gradually transferring his old productions into the new structure, so there may not be too many of them left.  DWidger has probably done most of his.  It may be that neither of them has anything left in etext03.
 
It's standard repost practice, and common courtesy, to maintain the credit to the original producer. During the repost project, the only time I added my name to the credit line was in the HTML version, if I created one.  If I didn't do an HTML version, I didn't add myself to the credit line 
 
If a tournamenter (silly word, since this isn't or shouldn't be a contest) reproofs an etext03 text, and creates an HTML version of it, that person's name will accompany the original producer's name, e.g. if something was created by John Doe, and it's reproofed/whatever by bowerbird, who also adds an HTML file, the new credit line will read something like "Produced by John Doe, HTML version by bowerbird".  In short, John Doe will NOT lose his credit, and will NOT lose first credit.
 
Greg to confirm/deny/clarify as needed.

except i'm quite sure that's not a rule for this tournament.

as for the 587 files in etext03, it's my understanding that
implicit credit for moving these files to the new structure
will be given to the whitewashers.  that's correct, is it not?
surely that is not the aim of this tournament either, is it?

or have we taken "whitewashing" back to its original sense?
are you planning to soon charge us to do this work for you?
