Or better yet add the IANA http status code registry reference to
RFC2616bis declaring that IANA is responsible for maintaining the status
code registry?

Having "registry" type RFCs never works out well as these needs to be
updated before the next draft needing a new status code is published.
This job is much better done by IANA.

6.1.1 Status Code and Reason Phrase

just after the status code class definitions add something like the
following.

   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) acts as a registry
   for HTTP status codes and suggested reason phrases. The values
   defined here is only the initial set defined for HTTP/1.1.
