Cool work Jeph. Sorry to not stop by the booth Netha. I'm only now catching up on mailinglist stuff post-wikimania and didn't see the invitation in time.
I have a start here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Editor_retention Regretfully, I haven't expanded that in a year, but please do feel free to be bold. I highlighted my own work only because it was easiest for me to summarize at the time and I was in a rust to get a few key stubs together. Please feel free to expand to other relevant literature. I'll help as I can manage to schedule the time.

You could start a page on meta with subpages on specific wikis. I think you will find that a devolved system will work better than trying for a centralised system. People on the English Wikipedia running current schemes or aware of past ones might be willing to log them there, perhaps with a category, but I can't see them doing so on meta, and I doubt other languages will be different.

OK, perhaps we should have one so that we know what's being tried and what has been tried. I'm not sure who to ask in WMF if they could set up a hub for this kind of work. Aaron, do you know?
Thanks,
Pine

No.
There is a wiki project that looks at this and many chapters, as well as I suspect many adhoc things that individual editors do. I know of enough such initiatives to know that there is no single complete list of editor retention initiatives.

Interesting. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere of ongoing and planned editor retention initiatives?
