Drupal 7 contains descriptions for every permission, they are part of
hook_permission. See
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_permission/7

So, that module would only make sense for Drupal 6. The most
problematic issue would imho be, as usual, getting all other contrib
modules to implement that hook.
