Neat! There's been talk about doing something like this for a while,
but no one's taken the initiative to do it. However, I don't think
you'll have much luck getting it in the AppDB's source repository,
without having a discussion on wine-devel about it first.

Is there any chance of a different license? Wine is currently LGPL
2.1, it'd be nice to have the same license, if possible...

I thought the AppDB code was under the GPLv2, judging from the LICENSE file.

Its not a patch to the appdb code base.  Its a separate entity that
queries the database directly.

The code lookes nice. Many people have asked for this, so thanks for working 
on it.
I think it would be easier to maintain this if it queried the AppDB rather 
than MySQL directly, though.

Actually I just ask for a hosting this script on wine appdb site or database
access from my hosting IP addr.

I don't think this is good idea, because it is not a library.
