I don’t know of one.

It seems like a good idea.

BGP-multi-hop might be a reasonable way to collect them.

If others agree that it’s a good idea, and it’s not stepping on 
anyone’s toes, PCH would be happy to host/coordinate.

Thanks for the effort, much appreciated.

That's a lot %-]

Maybe a well-known community (similar to RFC7999) could be defined and
every Anycast operator could tag his prefixes? That's likely a better
idea than manually maintain some list somewhere.
