webhook alert notification plugin?

"The concept of a WebHook is simple. A WebHook is an HTTP callback: an HTTP POST that occurs when something happens; a simple event-notification via HTTP POST.
A web application implementing WebHooks will POST a message to a URL when certain things happen. When a web application enables users to register their own URLs, the users can then extend, customize, and integrate that application with their own custom extensions or even with other applications around the web."

Interesting generic concept for getting alerts out of RHQ, or potentially even for metric data. With this we wouldn't have to worry about integrating with any particular system, as long as they could consume HTTP POST. Users wouldn't need to write a server plugin to get a hold of alerts.
