blocklist.de publishes several.  fail2ban already has support for
reporting your bans to them; see the documentation in the default
jail.conf.  You just need to get an API key from the blocklist.de site
to set things up.

That is one nice feature that denyhosts has; any host running it can
communicate with a server and coordinate blocking with all other hosts
who do the same.  Originally that server was proprietary but since the
API is public someone else ended up writing their own server.  Sadly
denyhosts went somewhat moribund and I lost track of it.

Technically there probably isn't much from stopping fail2ban from using
the same server software in some way if someone wanted to write the
code.  Though I'm not sure if fail2ban has any way to pull a set of
addresses to block from an external source.
