I started on this with #6

Do you think this issue is addressed yet, or are you planning more PRs?

From the items above "status" is unclear. Just drop this column because it depends on usage context anyway? Beside that RFC 8126 requires to state a "registration policy" (how are new values going to be added). A look at existing RFCs may help.

Status is meant to convey whether it is still safe to use the value or if usage could be a concern (for example, no one should be using md4 these days).

You are correct, we should lift a section with appropriate language from another RFC. So, this issue should remain open until we have a PR that does that and therefore closes this issue.
