May I suggest in the documentation on setting up a server, there is a chapter about ensuring the abuse@ address is properly registered with the net block the server is on, and that say address is monitored. All internet registries now maintain an abuse field for IP and ASN net blocks.
This will not work, as probably only a small group of Pool NTP server operators have the possibility to adjust this entry. Most operators are just using a fixed IP address out of the pool from their ISP or server hoster. Sure it would be possible to ask the ISP to add a an abuse entry (if it not already does exists), but then it will be for the much larger net block and should point to the ISP and not the operator of the server.
This is often the best way to alert something is wrong. Today is this DDOS, tomorrow will be something else. You want to be able to be quickly notified and you don't want people to spend too much time figuring out who manages what.
Sure it is helpful to quickly contact the right person, or an abuse desk at a larger ISP. If the ISP is responsible enough, he will forward such information to the corresponding customer anyway. Sure this does add an other delay.
