First place I’d ask is the RFC Editor. But...

Using the rsync archive at rsync.ietf.org...

I did an ls -lrt on the file of “all internet drafts since” someone started recording them, and all RFCs. I’m not convince that the year they wound of in the archive is the year in the index file, but I don’t feel like trying to parse the index file. But doing that and then gripping for year numbers (and noting that digit-digit-:-digit-digit is at the moment equivalent to “2014")
