Another update. I took the bans from this Steam Forums post http://tinyurl.com/6f9er and also the bans I had at my three servers, in addition to those that various players gave to me that I trust.
I then added those from several admins who have contacted me from this HLDS Server Email list, and from these two additional sites which I believe are also reliable:

I manually took out any duplicates, and updated my banned_users.cfg file so it now has 850 bans. This is being shared with as many server admins as possible, and more are being added all the time. I started today with 350 bans.
Get the ban list of 850 Steam ID's here: http://www.kain-9.com/server/banned_user.cfg and let me know if you know of more legitimate bans. This problem is still not fixed by Valve for HL2, although there was a plugin that was independently developed which seems to have resolved my servers crashing so far. In any case, the more players realize they will be permanently banned by a large network of server admins, the more effective we will be on our own.
This is probably the most intelligent use of this HLDS list that I can think of.
