I think this is an great idea! Personally I would probably stick to JUnit too (the overhead of writing Cucumber/easyB/… is just too not what I like), but the reports of BDD tools are a lot better to understand and therefore a user/developer can see more clearly what actually has been tested and what might be missing or need another test. UseCases are better documented and published BDD Reports are also good documentation (when published). John Smart (the guy who wrote the Jenkins Definitive Guide - [1], cc'd) is quite into BDD and also the author Thucydides [2] - maybe he would be interested in proving BDD to be helpful for the jenkins community (speak “convince").
