Here's one problem: new contributors won't have access to the 
third-party service and will need to set up their own indexes 
from scratch, but the scripts or whatever to do that probably 
won't be maintained because
existing contributors won't need them.  It's healthier for the 
project if anyone can just download the codebase and hack on it 
without signing up for some third party service.

By the way, I think there's a good project in here and I'm 
willing to contribute my 2c and maybe more, but I know I'll lose 
any discussion in this thread.  I'm following this one:
