Many ISPs use our Monitor service in order to check when IPs the control are serving as a platform from which to launch attacks. We don't actively push reports on people who do not ask for them. Friends of ours at abuse desks tell us that sending automated reports will often just get those reports deleted. Instead, we try and make Project Honey Pot a resource that the abuse desks will actively ask to receive and take seriously.
As for registrars and their domains, that's not something we currently do but is a potentially good idea. The challenge is whether spamming a website is actually a violation of the terms of service of a domain's registration. Generally we're of the mindset that pushing something on abuse desks just makes an otherwise extremely difficult job harder and, therefore, is likely to just get deleted. However, if there are registrars that would like to receive such information, we'd be happy to make it available to them.
