Thanks for filing this bug, David.
I also agree that it would be useful to have a list of those people who are using the trademark within the expectations of the policy. The Canonical trademarks team have also started sending out granted license documents (via email) to clarify that a given entity has a license.
Fortunately, there is already work in progress in providing to a reasonable degree what you feel is important here. We will ask those people who the Ubuntu trademarks to add their details to a wiki page that the Canonical trademarks team subscribe to, and the team will send out a license document if they are within the expectations of the trademark policy.
You should see some more details on this over the coming few weeks.
