This is an excellent point but e-mail is probably not the right medium for that. Standardizing protocols for reporting abuse - and therefore acting on those reports more quickly - would be far more helpful. But only organizations don't want abuse on their networks will invest in the people, processes, and systems, whatever the reporting medium.
I kind of don't buy into "There is no point on placing a burden on orgs that choose not to act".
It's not about the burden on the organizations that don't want to act. It's about providing a clear signal to the reporting organizations that there is no point reporting. That should allow reporting organizations to decide on next steps more quickly.
