In 2010, we mapped a lot of boundaries using out-of-copyright maps. Though the maps we used were a lot older (mainly Ferraris maps).
Today, there are still boundaries of the part-municipalities we could map using old maps like these. In my experience, a high-quality scan is the most valuable. Although mass-georeferencing them can be nice, we only did it on an individual base when mapping the boundaries (by using the background-image plugin for JOSM). Mainly because those old maps weren't drawn very correctly, we had to adapt the georeferencing based on the actual position where we were working. I have a feeling it won't be a lot better with pre-WWII maps. High-quality scans wouldn't cost that much effort with a professional scanner. Maybe it would be good to upload them to commons (so they can be used in Wikipedia) or on the OSM wiki. I think the most work will be to classify them, so they are searchable. Anyway, I think it would be nice, but I don't know how useful it would be, so I understand if you don't want to do it.
