Waze has pothole detection and reporting already and they say they are working towards reporting the data to local governments. The problem is there are a lot of local governments and most don't have anything like web APIs to automate the reporting.
Maybe a shame app to list the counties by pothole count. A Cadillac will probably report less potholes than a Camry so it would for sure need user confirmation and manual reporting in there.
