Yes we also assign an abuse-c

There’s no point in our abuse desk getting reports about things we can do very little about

Of course a lot of LEA and others seem to be using some weird tools for parsing the database, so we still get reports for blocks we’ve assigned

As for this SWIP thing – all the references in that document refer to ARIN. Was any such policy / process considered in the RIPE region?

Do you mean "will _register_ IP blocks"?  That's my experience as well.

Do you also assign an abuse-c?

They /are/ facts, up to a few exceptions.

Once there was a sort of self registration, SWIP[*], for self registering small
blocks (I got a /29).  The concept of ISP in that document[*] was much more
transitive than in current acceptation.  Why was it dismissed?
