I do think bots can be a great part of software development. I love the likes of travisci and codeclimate integrating with GitHub - GitHub just need to build a better app to deal with them. I assume private repos don't have bots bothering them, but maybe they want to allow some? Checkboxes for types of bot services you would like to allow per project?

We have GitHub Services: https://github.com/github/github-services. Anyone can submit one. We'll probably accept it as long as the code is decent, is tested and documented, and is for a stable service. If you're running some custom build on a personal hosting account, use the web hooks. You can attach web hooks or services to any of these events: http://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/
