Let me parse the sentence:

"The RFC editor publishes a list of errors list at"

Thst should be "The RFC editor publishes a list-of-errors list at" and
is correct usage, albeit redundant.

Errata is plural in Latin but it's singular in English according to my
Meriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionay, Tenth Edition (1993), which
defines it as "a list of corrigenda" or "a page bearing such a list".

Enough with the pedantry - this ain't no grammar forum.
