The system should recognise the rights of nameserver operators.
There should be some process by which unwanted delegations can be removed.
Obviously doing this on the basis of an email is not a good idea, but 
perhaps
the nameserver operator can publish their desire in a credible fashion:

 dig @ns1.uq.edu.au 71.155.in-addr.arpa  any
~
