I have the hosting capacities for a petition, and MySQL databases, but I'd

I very much appreciate the discussion about problem domains.
It would benefit WMF greatly if we had the following:
-List of problem domains (is there a page?)
-Petition engine to capture usernames against use of said domains
That will give us what we need to pursue action as laid out by Akash
with a
minimum of WMF resources having to dedicate time to it.
Thanks.
