Martijn, I've added a page to the Wiki which describes the software with an instance of the Software2 template; see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bing_imagery_analyzer_for_OSM .
I think this provides information that I've always wanted for aerial imagery but have never had consistently at hand.
