I'm not sure if the "reporting" bit should automatically go hand in hand
with "blocking" specifically. There might be value in defining an entity
that simply just receives spam reports. Obviously, end-users generally
report spam because they want it to stop, but the goal of reporting could
be broader. I'd not be opposed to a XEP that does just that: manage spam
reports. The blocking bit is a logical extension to that, but there might
be other extensions: things like analysis, and reports sharing with trusted
other parties, etc.
