So, the webform would have pull-downs for each repo, and the options would include certain branches and tags (maybe not all, but you could have a function that filters out the recent ones, or the ones currently relevant).

Certainly the ForceScheduler is flexible enough to support this -- it
would just require some custom fields.  Those could do whatever kind
of magic introspection is required.
