Nice approach.
Would integrate which imagery providers in particular have gaps, and which
sources are listening for requests.
In OSM, Bing is our main source, been pretty decent analysis of its global
coverage; and it's getting better all the time, the area of the Chinese quake
was well covered.

HOT's usual places to go with requests are State HIU, which we can use through
the Tasking Manager; as well as directly to imagery providers, Spot for example
shares generously.
