Right, some of these guys would be hard to contact. But that doesn't somehow imply that you have permission. If you look at the original text file for most of these maps, you'll see something like this:
This level may be distributed via any medium (ie: Internet, BBS, CD-ROM, compilation disk) as long as it maintains the name ELEKTRA.BSP and is supplied in a zip file called ELEKTRA.ZIP that also contains this text document and no other files.
Without talking to them personally, this license is all you have to go on.
And on top of the levels, there are songs and models and maybe other stuff that is taken from commercial games. I'm sure you can easily contact id software about the Quake 2 models and music, and they will give you an answer about those.
Unfortunately, the right thing for you to do is to start with an empty list and add to it only those things which you know you have permission to use (the GPL levels, the textures, the engine, the code, maybe some of the models?) and get rid of everything else.

Imho, you sould stop. Make a list of offending material, and remove it. Then re-release.
About this:
[[This level may be distributed via any medium (ie: Internet, BBS, CD-ROM, compilation disk) as long as it maintains the name ELEKTRA.BSP and is supplied in a zip file called ELEKTRA.ZIP that also contains this text document and no other files.]]
