Yes, I am working on it (http://luther.ceplovi.cz/git/czebkr.git/ based
on http://cs.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_kralick%C3%A1 which seems to have
much better text than what we have anyway; among other things, it
doesn’t mix together two different editions of the Bible).

It's unclear whether you are working entirely from an ODT exported from Wikisource articles or are also using the CzeBKR module exported via osis2mod, but there's no way we would distribute content produced via either of these methods.

Wikisource can be a good source for Bibles, but there are a couple of very significant problems with how you are using Wikisource. The first problem is that you aren't using the Wikisource source text, you're using something that has already been transformed into ODT. That unnecessarily introduces the potential for errors. It's also much, much easier to transform Wiki markup to OSIS than it is to transform ODT to OSIS.

The other big problem is that you're hosting these derivative ODTs in a git repository. Wikisource is already a document archive, and it has the added benefit of allowing others to correct the documents.

If you intend to use Wikisource as a source text, use the underlying Wiki document and write a script to pull a fresh copy from Wikisource so that changes to the Wikisource copy can be easily integrated into updates. If you'd like an example Python script that downloads documents from Wikisource and generates an OSIS document, I can send you one.

Also, based on this discussion I have added some maintainer-related
headers to my CzeCSP module
http://luther.ceplovi.cz/git/czekms-csp_bible.git/commit/?id=46e39155e0
because I haven’t anything standard on
http://crosswire.org/wiki/DevTools:conf_Files Or did I miss something?

We won't be adopting these.

"Maintainer" contact info is not useful or necessary because "maintainers" usually maintain their submissions very little if at all. Module bugs go into the bug tracker. From there, we assign the bugs to the appropriate maintainer. If you feel the need to sign your module, you can add a note at the end of the About section.

Could somebody upload to our repository
http://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/CzeCSP.zip with the new version, please?

We do not accept submissions of compiled modules. Submissions are still done the same way as they were two years ago: send the OSIS file or a link to it to modu...@crosswire.org.
