The problem I see is that this is a lot of work, so no one will want to
do it for others without getting paid. Also, if more than one person uses
such a list then all of them will have to agree on the precise criteria
for inclusion in it. One's extreme political group is another's human
rights activist.
To wrap it up, I don't think a published list is feasible. The only
approach that can possibly work is to form cooperations between sites
with a similar culture, agree on a common AUP within such a group, and
then nominate someone to translate that AUP into filter lists for that
group - and maintain them. The group can then also decide on the
distribution of costs.
