The NTP.org guys run a decent infrastructure, and recently took over hosting (only) for the pool.ntp.org <http://pool.ntp.org> mailing lists. They are a stable team, time-related, and neutral (AFAIK) on the political issues.
The NTP model is a good one, and is logically related to TZ. More generally, there's the Internet Systems Consortium, which hosts the NTP Public Services Project; see <http://www.isc.org/software/other>. I presume that we could start a TZ Public Services Project that would run on similar grounds. There is a good connection between ISC's other projects (notably DHCP) and the TZ database. I can explore the possibilities there, if this seems like a good idea to others.
