Yes, this is a great idea. Maybe one comment : 

The md5sum is an idea but I think It will be better to use
an OpenPGP signature. The main advantage is we can attach a
"name"/uid with the signature. More useful in case of legal
action.

The sneaky part is, that publication in newspaper is
probably cheaper than a lawyer office. In Denmark we have a
free-ads newspaper (Den Blå Avis) that could be used.

The file with all MD5SUMs could just be available at
Savannah. That way I will not have to supply High-Availability.

To see if I can afford providing this service I will need to
know:

* Amount of disk space
* Number of files
* Growth rate

Output from 'du' and 'find' can be mailed (bzippped) to
address@hidden

Also: How do I compute the MD5SUMs of every version of the a
given file?
