I'm concerned that we're going to advertize only about large providers. Why should we advertize about HP & Amazon, and not smaller players? >> You may also know that we already provide some images within AWS. See >> the debian-cloud list.

Then a wiki page seems more appropriate. Everyone can edit the wiki, so it's fair enough. Though even this way, I think it's best to just ship the images through cdimage.debian.org, and let everyone download and use them.
