Part of the problem is the absence of a handy up-to-date reference which would be not descriptive (like e.g. Rene's website), but assertive

The Yale photo-facsimile published in 2016 should nicely fill that role. It is of course quite short. However, coming from Yale it is clearly authoritative.
The lax response from the "Voynich community" for me highlighted one of the main problems with this community.

It cannot be fully up to date since it is a printed book.
