Yes, we at the RIPE NCC are working on such list. However the task, as 
you said, is not as easy as it seems to be. We have to be confident in 
the data we publish and this requires some work especially regarding 
early registrations.

There are also efforts by the RIRs to make allocation records more 
accurate and appearing in the right RIR, the ERX project for instance
