Front-end is overrated, basic organization of data is all that is needed. It doesn't need to look fancy. I know some html/css/javascript.
The main problem I see with both lists is maintenance. How do we know ownership hasn't changed hands? What if the cooperative sells the business or is replaced by a different business, using the same name? Same goes with the bad actors, what if they're taken over by someone good? Businesses ethics, morals, and actions can and do change based on who is running them.
I think a basic public list is a good place to start. Do you know where to get web hosting that has secure anonymity so they won't leak your personal credentials in the WHOIS database?
I think they both have great use-cases, and I totally understand folks not wanting to dump XMPP, which has been useful for a long time. Have you heard about Veilid? I was kind of like "why, don't we already have Matrix/XMPP?" at first, but when I watched the DEF CON video about it, I actually became a lot more interested, it has a unique and interesting setup that I think is very good.
These are great questions to ask!
I think that is fairly standard to mask that info.
Maybe just a basic list to get started, I can think of lots of functionality to add but that is not my skillset.
