You should definitely not make any assumptions around having unique source 
ports for QUIC connections. MsQuic already supports sharing the local port and 
is looking to make it a default behavior (for at least some scenarios) to avoid 
the fairly common "port exhaustion" problems we see with TCP. This doesn't 
necessarily mean all connections would be on the same source port, but only a 
few ports might be used for all connections.

As others have pointed out, I would suspect an RFC with a port list would 
quickly become outdated.

Speaking generally of lists of a content too dynamic and too host-specific to 
hardcode in RFCs, there once was a habit of putting them into DNS records.
