That's out of date. We've moved those PKIX registries to IANA and Russ
no longer manages 'em and more importantly here we've put in place a
process for early allocation of IANA code points in RFC 7020. [1]

In terms of code points for use of sha-3 in pgp, my reading of 7120
would be that the list will discuss and the chairs will judge if rough
consensus has been reached at which point the chairs will have the
backing of folks participating in the WG to allocate code points
early.

Cheers,
S.

PS: A nice side-effect of using 7120 - IANA regularly send the IESG a
summary of the early allocations that will soon expire. That's a
great way to kick a WG into finishing a bit of work they ought have
gotten done ages before:-)
