Reporting SSH abuse

Hello list,

I've been getting a slew of SSH brute forces coming from a university
inside the US over the
past week. Normally I wouldn't even bother with reporting, but I
figured this would be a
chance to clear this up.

Fail2ban bans for 10 hours, and then the login attempts area right
back at it. Repeat.

An email with associated logs, and perhaps a little info from this
side is the best I can come
up with. I suppose there's not much else to report, though.

Is there a 'standard' format to report ssh abuse? Like there is with
vuln reporting?

IMO, I doubt anything will happen, but if it were coming from my
network, I'd like a notification.
