How about releasing the ruleset via torrent or something similar. Anything that you could do to distribute the load and location would make a ddos attack less effective. While there might not be a lot of people on this list who can use their server to take on the entire DDOS for you, there are a LOT of servers here that could participate in a pool.
I don't think the typical SA ruleset is big enough to take advantage of BitTorrent. Too much overhead. For comparison, Firefox updates are typically several hundred kilobytes (on Windows & Linux, anyway), and they've looked into torrents and concluded they wouldn't gain anything by using them.
