That's why everyone is doing it themself. They don't wanna make it to easy for people to find their dirt, also make it harder for trolls and spammer to harm them. Protecting yourself from others is a legit problem with this.
But besides that, aren't sites like hackernews and reddit basically like that? All you need is an extension which querys them for the active url or domain and shows the results on the side.
