Absolutely agree, and by chance I was already in the middle of preparing
regular dumps from my server anyway.
I had two motivations:
- sharing some of the load, especially since we've already seen that this
service can vanish very quickly otherwise
- I struggled to find a good and recent dump when I first set up my box.
I found plenty of advice on how to import the dump, and how to set up
gossip sync, but no actual locations for *doing* this.

I'm happy to take on preparing a patch for the Debian package with
instructions on where to find this list, but it will be too late for the
next release now.
