[HOT] Crowdsourcing Satellite map gaps

[Mikel Maron]

Nice approach. 

Would integrate which imagery providers in particular have gaps, and which sources are listening for requests.

In OSM, Bing is our main source, been pretty decent analysis of its global coverage; and it's getting better all the time, the area of the Chinese quake was well covered.

HOT's usual places to go with requests are State HIU, which we can use through the Tasking Manager; as well as directly to imagery providers, Spot for example shares generously.
