If I remember correctly, it was done as a "Google Summer of Code"
project - effectively a sponsorship deal. However, that project
requires a clone of the OSM website, which is a much harder job than
merely doing something with OSM data as it is updated.

Great!

Well if you start writing it locally and start initially with a small
extract of OSM data your hosting costs will be zero. Even if you
absolutely need to go for a hosted server it needn't cost more than a
Northern European cup of coffee a month to start with (see e.g.
https://blog.jochentopf.com/2019-03-07-the-new-osmdata-service.html )

I'd suggest creating such a place in a shared code repository such as
github (which is where lots of OSM-related stuff already is). Don't
worry that it isn't "official" - very little in OSM is. If it becomes
valuable it can easily be built on or incorporated into osm.org
centrally later.
