I think part of my snark was lost as snark here...
So, we're asking 'everyone' to do 'something' on behalf of their domains,
their users and the rest of the internet... we can't seem to do that in a
fashion that's traceable, clearly has ownership and doesn't look like every
halfbaked spam campaign in the world.

Yes I could go digging for the right starting point at ISC or github or ..
what??
Why wasn't this pretty clearly owned by 'ICANN' or some organization like
that?

It's lovely that github, fastly, gandi and ISC want to help, but...
somewhere here some legitimacy could have been injected into the process,
right?

"HI, we're ICANN we do dns thingies, and we'd like to help make you make
things better. Please use the website (provided by our partner(s) X, Y, Z
to do the following A, B, C things, and get guidance on repair for problems
at site FOO, BAR or BAZ. If there are questions please see our FAQ (
https://www.icann.org/dnsfixin/faq) or email <support () icann org>. Thanks
for taking the time to make the world better?"

it's not super hard to do this, it's also apparently super easy to look
like a spam/malware campaign.
