The ELIST doubles as a kind of creation and listing system. Once
an echo is created, the resultant listings provide a kind of
catalog of available echos, in one place, where anyone could
"shop" and see what's available.
The sorted and unsorted lists in the Fidogazette are pretty good
too.
The only other thing lacking from a user's pov is *where* an
echo could be requested.

It is good to know that permission per se is not required, and
the backbone is essentially the network of participating systems
or nodes.
