@wicz and @gjp

If you've seen the mailing list thread, I proposed an integration with Github commits and mendibot for the hackdays. The plan is to have it work as follows

1. A staff member issues `!hackday-start topic message`
- this sets a topic and allows mendibot to start tracking gh commits
2. User types `!gh-follow mendicant-university/community` or `!gh-follow mendicant-university/community:my-branch` to tell mendibot to track commits on this code.
3. Every n seconds, mendibot queries the ATOM feed of the repo for new commits and reports them
4. Every 30-60 minutes mendibot reports the number of commits in the last 30-60 minutes along with the total commits so far
5. When the hackday is over a staff member issues `!hackday-stop`
- mendibot writes out a final commit count and stops tracking the repos.

I'd like to get this in place ahead of the next hackday. We'll wait until #31 is merged to see what we can reuse from it. If this is something one or both of you would like to tackle, let me know.
