There's http://github.com/hughsie/shared-color-profiles which may be
of interest to you.

I'm not so sure submitting user-generated profiles makes so much
sense, I mean, your Epson R2880 probably has a quite different
response to my (hypothetical) Epson R2880.

If people think this is a good idea, I'd be wiling to set something
like this up, as lets face it, a profile that is 3% off correct is
better than no profile at all.

That's something you really want to do. We probably want to add a
whole load of text in the help file in how to do this (sunny day, etc)
but using GCM the process itself should be pretty easy.
