I know this isn't an answer to your question, but: I don't think this needs to 
be made into a plugin. That requires quite a bit of effort, for basically no 
gain.

A script stored in SCM seems like the perfect place for this. Shared between 
projects, or even between Jenkins instances.

Write to standard out/standard error, and maybe use something like Groovy 
Postbuild Plugin to appropriately make the build unstable/failed if certain 
keywords appear in the log.

It's not clear why a script cannot do this.

Remember, a Jenkins plugin comes with downsides -- like extra development 
effort (obviously), and the inability to modify its behavior without restarting 
Jenkins.
