You write an Internet Draft, and as part of the draft you note that 
there's currently no registry, and that somebody needs to deal with that 
(maybe yourself by defining it, by using the RFC "updates" relation, or 
by asking the IESG or the Working Group for feedback).

But the first step should be to actually show that a new Warning code is 
needed. Could you please do that first?

RFC2616 defines Warning Codes. But that doesn't necessarily mean a 
registry is needed.
