Reverse DNS is not a mechanism to identify end users of subnet's. That mechanism already exits it's called whois. In a perfect would the 44net registry would allow users to update their own whois entry from the portal.

It is true that the 44.144 reverse zone is almost empty, however it - currently - is only updated at end user's request. There - currently - is no filtering on valid PTR records for internet access at our border, however we are designing a new connectivity system for our users and can incorporate that.
Whether or not everyone should do that is up for debate imo and if the majority should decide that and UCSD follows and makes it a rule of thumb then indeed everyone should do that. Maybe discussion to be held with the TAC?

It probably almost never is a problem. There are so many AMPRnet addresses in use without a proper registration in ampr.org DNS (which automatically creates the reverse DNS record) that this cannot be the explanation for all of them. Apparently the DNS for 44.144 is very incomplete, the maintainer should bulk-update it. The DNS entries for 44.137 are completely in sync with the hosts file and addresses not appearing in that list are filtered at the gateway, just like on the UCSD gateway. Everyone should do that.

That could raise unexpected technical problems when rDNS is expected to be a particular thing. If someone wants to do that, they'd do better to create a TXT record like 1.23.31.44.in-addr.arpa IN TXT "AF7MH". But we know who the assignee is already!

Note that none of these addresses (nor the other ones posted) have reverse DNS. I think we should make DNS entries (with callsign) mandatory for all allocated AMPRnet addresses!
