Yes, this is an important next step, but I don't have the
infrastructure to host such a beast.

To my mind, there are two ways to do this:
 1. be notified of new commits (via a hook)
 2. poll for commits (via cron + 'git pull')
Neither really requires the GitHub API.  I think that we could easily
start with option 2, and transition to option 1 if commits are
frequent enough to necessitate it.
