You don't really need to trust anyone, what you want to backup is
publicly available anyway, right? Then you can make a tarball or
something and just publish it in some obscure path in the web. Then
anyone willing to do a backup only have to download that tarball. If is
not too big, you could also open a gmail account and send the tarball to
that account (I did this for backing up a small server).

Maybe when GDC gets merged this could change, as the I think the
userbase of GDC could grow a lot. But even then, maybe is not too hard
to move a bug from one bugzilla instance to another.

Also, did you tried to put your infrastructure in gcc.gnu.org, as other
languages tend to have they home pages in gcc.gnu.org/lang, it might be
a good idea to have something like gcc.gnu.org/d. But maybe you want to
have more control over the server and I guess you can't really request
that until GCD is completely merged. Just thinking out loud. :)
