There is some value in it, in some use cases a document is uploaded
and only then a problem is found which requires a bug fix in some application.
Trusting the main server or even the factories behind Officeshots.org is one 
thing (don't trust either with your nuclear war head documents), but uploading 
a document to a publicly visible and search engine indexed location like a bug 
tracker is another.

Surely, we all would love someone to cook up a quick PyQt gui around
this excellent Python code. Or integrate greeking and submission to Officeshots
natively with their office suite of choice ;).

It is. The source code can be downloaded through the Python Package Index 
(if you have python setup tools installed: easy_install itools). An online
version can be found at:
