Networks don't report anything, people do, and in the majority of cases
not the network owner (where network owner = person listed in the RIR as
the POC)

No, it's much more. Delisting requests are processed in the initial
instance by a robot to save wasting valuable human time as we have
received several 1000 messages a day from dynamic users demanding
delisting. The robot leaves us with 50-100 messages a day to process
manually (for the DUHL only.)
