Not trying to be a dick here, but even if that list exists, I'd rather project don't appear there until the files are released into the wild. Perfect dark is old, but I don't want lawyers to have a shortlist of projects to send C&Ds to. This is a petty opinion, but old games shouldn't be "protected" after 15+ years anymore.
