My only request would be to ensure that appropriate security is put in so that 
this bot won't be spoofed by any bozo who sends a github-looking json request 
to it.

Sounds good.  

Note that our current public PHP web pages already issue some curl requests 
behind the scenes.  E.g., the license page 
(http://www.open-mpi.org/community/license.php) does a curl request to get the 
actual license text from our github repo and output it verbatim.  See the PHP 
source code here: 
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-www/blob/master/community/license.php.
