I have come across one person who prefers to upload the signatures to the public keyserver themselves, because they are particular about sanitizing the signature set (such as rejecting ones that rely on SHA1 instead of SHA512). I guess there are small privacy advantages, by not making your network associations publicly visible, although that would mean the person did not sign anyone else's key either, which really does seem to lack community spirit! To me, the advantages of having my signed key available through a number of channels outweighs the minor loss of privacy, and I agree it makes good sense to upload them.
