Agree. To give wider perspective topic was discussed many times. Key
problem is that no one drives it. I'm not sure if there is any use in
having a website which at least gathers all those discussions to not
repeat the same thing again and again.

I already gave Qubes OS example during coreboot leadership:
https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-use-the-hcl/
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-hcl
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin/blob/master/qvm-tools/qubes-hcl-report

IMO account creation, ssh/gpg keys configuration, git etc. are blockers
for regular users who care about open source firmware and can limit
number of reports we will get. Probably because of that Qubes OS do not
require such additional overhead. But maybe there are reasons why we
would like to limit number of reports.

Please note I'm not proposing Qubes OS approach as ultimate solution for
coreboot, but rather show how other OSS projects solved the same
problem. Of course we may need something more sophisticated, but more
sophisticated example needs more resources.
