Pirate Party member: GDPR-compliant Whois will lead to 'doxxing and death lists'
Actually, it's not that many that have documentation available. /s
But, given that Donuts Inc are the overlord of the internet in terms of (g)TLDs, there's not as many as some might think.
The native whois client on most distributions is on github and contains a self-maintained list of whois servers in case you're curious [1].
It also contains a list of all new gTLDs [2], which, for the most part are registered via Donuts Inc. in the end. It's kinda ridiculous that something like ".berlin" is owned, hosted, and distributed by an American company in Texas.
The ICANNWiki also has some nice side-facts about registrars if you're more curious about their organizational structure [3].
