"done been" is clearly non-standard and stigmatized.  But there is a place for the get-passive, and we use it regularly with some verbs:  get engaged, get married, get divorced, get killed, etc., where it's the change of state or condition that is important.  In many cases it does mark an informal register.

I would consider "He got run over" and "He done been run over" as
barely literate passives except when used jocularly.

P.S.  I get a few entries of comment and a score of pages of garbage
on this list; I saw no legible entries on "such as."  Could someone
repeat the question (and pertinent comments)?
