What you complain about is actually quite easy to determine. Delinquent filers--SEC registrants--are simple to identify. The SEC has a list. OTC Markets attaches a "delinquent filer" flag to those issuers at its website. It attaches a "dark or defunct" flag to non-registrants that haven't shown any signs of life lately.
That seems to me to be adequate warning to the public.
...there should be a framework in place to notify the public which companies have been put on notice and have or have not responded/complied with SEC notices.
Why? Would it be constructive for the SEC to tip off insiders, so they can dump their holdings and get outta Dodge? I don't think so.
