"Journal" might be a wrong concept, this service looks like something that could be decoupled from publishing.

I imagine it would not contain articles, only information about reliability of statements. Such as "result R published in article A was replicated successfully, here are the relevant data". So when someone reads an article, they could come to this service to check its reliability.

How should such thing be organized?

Wikis, Consumer Reports, Cochrane Reports, etc. The virtue of journals would be to reduce switching costs for academia.
