I started using TileStream a bit, and they use DropBox to allow people to upload .mbtiles tile dbs. At Grassroots Mapping/Public Laboratory we're facing the upload problem with our MapMill.org system -- we want people to be able to upload up to 8gb folders of raw imagery to be orthorectified into maps; so we're starting to use Dropbox as well.
As soon as there's a reasonably easy way to submit new data, we have a lot of data (geotiff, and most other formats) we'll start to submit. I know we don't really qualify as an image source the way you're all thinking (NAIP, Blue Marble, that sort of thing) but it'd be nice to do so anyhow. Anyhoo, the point of my DropBox mental meandering is because I'm wondering how to solve the problem of submitting large datasets in a standardized way. Perhaps the rate of submissions makes this a less urgent problem for OAM. But it seems reasonable to consider filling out a web form and then being automatically invited to a uniquely-named DropBox folder for that dataset, then when it's done, going back to the site and clicking "complete".
