This would be great for intrusion detection if there were some tools that users could use to automatically query the database, and repository maintainers could use to upload hashes.

There are a fair number of tools that do just this, either with NIST's NSRL or with commercial hash sets, the notable one being Bit-9. Bit-9 has an order of magnitude or two in size over NSRL (which itself has several orders of magnitude over this database).
