This still means that tools published in the last few years until now might just be gone soon. The people who uploaded the images might have graduated or moved on and none will be there to save the work.

Sounds like a job for the Archive Team, as long as there's some way to identify the images worth saving.
Yep, just mentioned it to the Archive Team IRC. We're probably going to selectively archive particular Docker images, although that's a lot of manual labor.
If you have any ideas wrt to selecting important images, that'd be great.
Rough idea: maintain an Awesome List of images worth saving, take submissions from public, use that list to automate what to pull?

Since images tend to be based on each other I wonder if someone's analyzed the corresponding dependency graph yet. In theory you should get quite far if you isolate the most commonly used base images.
