An "expert review wiki" can be a very good idea, I'd love to test it
for some topic (if it is MediaWiki, otherwise I'm not sure).  And it
could be hosted by IANA with an apparently "official" URI if they are
still willing:  MediaWiki administration requires some special skills,
mainly the "willingness" to update the installation at least once per
year, and to care about its i18n features with templates, extensions,
and other technical details.

For a "malformed mail" registry (or Wiki) "apparently official" and
"simple to understand" are both important, when mail administrators
are forced to prove their point in a discussion about legal issues.
