I suggest keep the bug on Wikimedia's servers and using a tool which relies on SQL databases. These could be shared with the toolserver where the "official" version of the analysis tool runs and users are enabled to run their own queries (so taking a tool with a good database structure would be nice). With that the toolserver users could set up their own cool tools on that data.
