DanQ has suggested using the /.well-known/feeds URI as a standardised way of sharing the "list of feeds associated with a site". This supplements the use of <link rel="alternate"> which is used to associate a feed with a page.

He's put a draft spec on GitHub.

I think this is a great idea and have created mine here. I already use /.well-known/avatar as suggested by Jim Nielsen.

A popular convention is to use /feeds but this is usually to point to a page. The difference with Dan's suggestion is that the feeds can be consumed directly from the opml file. Still, it can't hurt to have both and the more options for feed discovery the better.

I wasn't aware that there were so many .well-known URIs registered.

It makes me wonder what else we could do.
