Hi Ian, I gave it a spin. For me the interesting question is how to deploy it.
Option 1, would be to make this a feature on the main OSM site. Instead of asking people to add a note, we could ask a couple more structured questions to insure we have enough info in the note. Let face it, "add a note to osm", is not anybodies actual goal. It is always going to be something higher level, like "add a POI", remove close POI, move POI, add road, etc. Option 2, would be to try to make a small business out of it, that also adds in new business to google, bing, yelp, etc. Just guessing, but I suspect, having a standalone site for just OSM might not get enough use to make it worth it...
