Well, we don't know if the Protheon did it or not. Maybe they were still travelling when the events of Mass Effect took place.

And the Reapers story has many holes in it, and that is one. If they want to preserve "life" or civilizations by turning them into Reapers, why didn't they go and do that in the other galaxies as well?

We don't know that they didn't. Told as it was from the perspective of the relatively primitive species of the Milky Way, for all we know the Reapers actually spent some portion of their time in neighbouring galaxies carrying out the same activities as in the Milky Way.

But if they were able to travel to other galaxies, harvest them and then come back in less than 50,000 years, why did they need so long to reach our galaxy? (it's not mentioned, but it's obvious that between the first and the last game, some years have passed, and that ME3 takes place during months if not also years).

After all, as far as we know, mass relays don't go from one galaxy to another, so the Reapers have to do it by themselves.
