[Foundation-l] Dealing with interwiki disruption

Yes I know all this. But for example for some issues often the system is
clogged

For example all English language projects should be briefed about disruption
on each other. That is disruption aside from vandalism.

I guess what I am looking for is an information portal of major cases of
disruption on all wikis. Ja.wikipedia will probably be unaware of
En.wikipedia issues such as the CAMERA incident.

A mailing list would not do the trick since we are looking at notes rather
than discussions. Help me out conceptualize.
