I’m considering starting a version of Fish Preferred by P.G. Wodehouse, which was added on Gutenberg last year:
Is this the kind of thing you're looking for? I’ve produced a couple of books using the Standard Ebooks toolset already (for personal use) but would like to make my first real project.

Great, that one would be a good start.
Should be pretty straightforward. Cut everything up to and including the
ToC.
Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:
https://standardebooks.org/manual
https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics
https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns
https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography
The step by step guide will take you from start to finish. Please follow
it exactly:
https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step
This page on common issues in older books may be useful:
https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks
Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.
When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can assign you a manager and reviewer.
Have fun! :)

I'm making good progress and should have something on Github soon!
One tricky thing I've come across is how to typeset French phrases used in English sentences. In the source they're generally italicised, but in phrases like "He searched for the mot juste" I removed the italics in line with the guidance you linked above.
Here's one I've found though where the narrator is actually *talking about* a phrase:
> It would be difficult to find a better illustration of all that is implied in the fine old phrase <i>Noblesse oblige</i>.
The phrase "noblesse oblige" is in Merriam-Webster, so strictly I'd remove all the markup around it, but it feels like it needs something. Quote marks?

As you'll see from the commit history, I've followed the step-by-step guide, and I'm now at the proofreading stage (just started on this last night). As such I've finished all the text (as far as I know) but haven't done metadata or cover art.

Sure.
I agree that if we remove the italics we need some quotes. Do that in a separate commit, and preface the commit message with [Editorial] so that it’s clear to future interested parties that we’ve made a material change to the text. See https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.8/single-page#1.4.2

The proofread is finished!
There were surprisingly few errors that came up. There are just two that I need some advice on.
1. Subchapter headings are sometimes the last thing on a page, with the start of the subchapter on the page following it. This never happens with chapter headings, and I wonder if it's something that needs to be considered. Did I do something wrong, or is this just down to the core.css style?
2. Ellipses are bothering me in some places. I've read the entry in the manual of style, but I don't know quite how to handle full stops when a character trails off in a sentence. For example, in chapter-1.xhtml we have:
<p>“In the rose garden. …”</p>
and
<p>“It is not a question of. … If you will
These have a full stop followed by an ellipsis (with the appropriate hair spaces and joiners). None of the linters have a problem, but it looks funny, and in any case renders four dots in total instead of three. Should the full stop be removed?
After these are dealt with, I'll carry on with the guidance for proposing cover art, and adding metadata and all.

1. I’ve checked, but we don’t fix this in other productions. I wouldn’t worry about it.
2. That’s fine. A typical production will use three dots for a straight ellipsis, and four dots for an ellipsis at the end of a sentence, but you don’t have to worry about that, just go with what the transcription does.
Looking forwards to seeing your art proposal!

To be more specific re. headers, core.css does already specify
`break-after: avoid` for all headings by default. It's up to the ereader
to respect that CSS.
