Let's try to get it added to the IANA registry?  It's odd that a
charset defined in an RFC is not already contained in it.

The contact information for the registry seems to have atrophied a
bit.  I will try to figure out the current process.  Historically,
it's been Expert Review, so we shouldn't have to write an RFC for
this.
