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].).
