You need the site to be able to be given a location and return the
nearest unknown/not fixed problem is. Given the site doesn't currently
do that, that involves adding code to the site. Pretty simple bit of
code, but nevertheless.

I would suggest it only look for "old, state unknown" reports -
unsurprisingly, people can be quite possessive of their reports, and so
limiting it only to those reports that haven't had any updates for a
while would hopefully prevent any ill feeling that might arise.
