Actually, there is a (singular) "errata report” (the report about a potential 
mistake), and once verified, the “errata report” [we could use a better word 
for that once it is verified] with any updates and new notes becomes part of 
the “errata” for the RFC (as in “errata exist”).
An unverified “errata report” is still that (we don’t know whether that 
actually describes “errata” or just missing information on the side of the 
reporter), like a crime report is to a crime.
There is never a need for singular “erratum” in the language we use today 
(mostly because it is hard to count errata).

Grüße, Carsten
