[tdwg-content] RDF list of terms as organized in the dwc-assistant?

If I find issues with http://gbrds.gbif.org/registry/extensions.json
where should I file them?  What about the end point XML files (like
http://rs.gbif.org/extension/ggbn/materialsample.xml)?

I'm thinking structure/syntax issues rather than semantics.
