That's a great idea!
I think we can use Wikidata to build the list:

I had been erroneously thinking along the lines that we'd have to be
uploading something to the items before making it part of a Wikisource
collection, but of course that's not necessary. I think your hierarchy
of wikisource collections sounds perfect.
It'd be cool if items with a page on a Wikisource could have a little
footnote like they do for Open Library ones ("[Open Library icon]This
book has an editable web page[1] on Open Library[2].).

Hi everyone,
I made this, hopefully is helful:
It's the list of the files on Commons uploaded
from Internet Archive.
The idea, right now, is that every language Wikisource would take care
of their uploads,
and when they are more than 50 they create a "Italian/German/Bengali
Wikisource",
collection on Internet Archive.
The whole set of collections will be inside one
"Wikisource" global
collection.
Make sense? Do you agree?
