For your information, osmose http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmose (free 
software) developed for and by the french community is doing kind of exactly 
that.
A meta plateforme taking inputs from distant plugins as xml files, false 
positive management, plugin framework (optionnal), redistibution API to 
embeded devices, a JOSM plugin, allready an OpenstreetBugs layer and a quick 
editor.

It lacks however the convex hull around buggy areas.

We don't really have the server ressources (yet) to make it available world 
wide, but the software beeing GPL, if I remember correctly, could be re-used 
and upgraded to run at larger scale.
