Import scans based on RISM?

I know IMSLP has projects devoted to harvesting scans from various places (e.g. Eastman/University of Rochester) for placement on IMSLP.
Is there such a project for all the scans one can discover through the RISM database?

I was not aware you can discover scans with RISM. Otherwise please provide an example.
AFAIK RISM just provides the name of the libary holding the score you want, with the same upleasant conditions as Worldcat.

In the advanced search, note at the top left you can select "Digital copies only"

(continuing) so if I search the composer Porpora and limit it to prints, and then select operas, this is my list of hits. You can clearly see which one contains a fully digitized score.

Well, this Porpora Arianna Nasso Walsh directs you to the Gallica-bnf page. You could have reached it with Worldcat or with Gallica, if you know it is there. So it can't be a RISM project.
I and other enthousiasts already "harvest" or "import" or "place" or "submit" lots of scores from similar libraries. I don't know if we can call this a project and if it would add something constructive.
