Alas, there are few firm guidelines for submission to PG, but most of them can be found in the FAQ (http://www.gutenberg.org/faq/). To submit scans for clearance, I suggest you go to http://copy.pglaf.org. The person who does most of the clearances (i.e., pre-1923 copyrights) was out of town recently, I believe returning on 10/3, so it's possible that your lack of replies about the clearance is merely a timing issue. PG is a volunteer organization, and most of the work is done by a small group of people who are not necessarily subscribed to this mailing list, and if they're not available, it can be a week or two before you get a response. You might also want to consider visiting and/or joining Distributed Proofreaders (http://www.pgdp.net) to see how they do it, as they provide a majority of the content for Project Gutenberg these days. They also have a number of tools available that can be used in the creation of files suitable for upload to PG, although some are geared towards the DP way of splitting the pages into separate files for processing, and then joining them all back together before submission to PG. DP also has forums for people who are working on scanning (content providing), and post-processing (prepping for submission to PG), so even if you don't want to get involved with DP, you may find answers to your questions there. Good luck. I hope this mailing list has not turned you away from volunteering content for Project Gutenberg. Unfortunately, the mailing list goes through periods of severe trolling because some people can't resist responding to the trolls (and I think we all know which 8-10 regulars are the ones most guilty), and you joined it a particularly bad time.
