The Synchronet BBS List door/script works this way (at least, from my understanding).  A sysop can add their BBS entry in that BBS List door, and the data is propogated in the Dove-Net Data message area. Vertrauen (the BBS of Synchronet's developer) uses the BBS list data to publish a list of BBSes.

One thing it doesn't include is an ANSI for each BBS though.
