Sounds like a good idea. You are welcome to use the libphish library under the 
terms of its license. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

Yes, there is a method to report sites as Phishing. First of all users can 
use "Report As Phishing" from their anti-phishing toolbar (like FirePhish) 
through their browser. It uses a script on our server which presents the user 
with a form where they can add their comments (like what site it's attempting 
to phish), and then it gets submitted to our review.
For example:
http://opdb.berlios.de/cgi-bin/report.pl?url=http://barclays10.net/olb/r/LoginMember.pl

We will be glad if you will be able to provide reports on phishing sites, 
preferably using the method shown above.

Yes, all sites reported by users get reviewed by us through an online 
interface. Currently there are two more people, other than me, helping with 
the review. We only add sites to the actual database after we make sure it's 
indeed phishing.
