Nice idea. Did you consider developing it as a plugin for hubot[0], or since you're working with ruby, then maybe lita[1], or ruboty[2] ?

I think it will take some of the heavy-lifting away, and easier to add for people who already use one of those robot frameworks (instead of running a whole instance just for one feature).
