One of our DevOps guys setup Nexus to serve npm packages. It both allows for the publishing of private repos (meaning you get semantic versioning support unlike git links) and caching of public repos from npm. It works extremely well.
That was my first thought on reading the business plan: it sounds like the "nexus" tools used with Maven.

I suppose if you are not using Maven, though, a custom tool integrated with the Node toolchain would be more comfortable.
