So far as I know, DP itself has no mechanism for refurbishing its old texts.

However, error reports, on any existing PG text, can be sent to errata_AT_pglaf.org. (change _AT_ to @).

A report can be as simple as extracting a copy of the problem line and submitting it and the proprosed corrected line, up to submitting a fully corrected version of the existing etext.  In the latter case, the PG header and footer should not be tampered with, nor should the file be reformatted, so that the Errata team can more easily compare it to the existing text. All error reports should mention the book's author, title, and etext number.

For Mr. McCunney's information, not all submissions to PG arrive via DP. Most do, but there are a few independent contributors to PG.

DMcCunney  at Mobileread has stated that «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.»

Is this any way true? When did that happen?
