I've been working on it all day, and I've finally got version 2.0 ready and working, and put it on-line:
http://grabjohn.com/kernelbugdatabase
I've added a major new concept in this version - bug reports and confirmed bugs, (I.E. bugs which are being actively investigated by somebody with administrative access to the Kernel Bug Database), are now separate things.
In other words, anybody can submit a bug report, but only designated people can collect those reports together into a confirmed bug. A bug report can be related to several confirmed bugs. Confirmed bugs can be read and commented on by all users.
Thanks to Fergal Daly for submitting this idea, and I'd also like to point out that I read more or less the same idea in this email by Larry McVoy, where Jens mentions the idea of sorting a queue of new bugs into the real database.

Hopefully this system also makes Alan's idea of keeping all bug reports for data mining, (also mentioned above), more practical.
I haven't written any documentation for it yet, but hopefully it's fairly self-explanatory anyway.
I've added a single confirmed bug, which relates to two vaguely related bug reports, (missing help text, and a missing comment), but anybody who wants administrative access to add and modify confirmed bugs, just drop me an E-Mail.
As always, any feedback on this would be much appreciated.
