The problem there is the influence of AV business/politics.  There would 
be no way to have a "common naming authority" without simultaneously 
making all discoveries and claims common knowledge.  The "my AV is 
better than your AV" war would be somewhat emasculated when this becomes 
knowledge, and there is no race to the "my AV detected this first" prize.

Well, there is something to be said for competition in the 
implementation and deployment of such detections, but I don't see the 
for-profit AV vendors suddenly co-operating on a global scale.
