Hello people,

A recent conference I attended has a talk which showed the insidious effect 
of 3rd party dependencies in FOSS software. Example

Node.js can be completely subverted by single malicious 3rd party dependency

This is not theoretical. See teh NPM/left-pad ripple effect 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/23/npm_left_pad_chaos/?mt=1479418338756 

I'd like to address this by encapsulating commit-watcher 
https://github.com/srcclr/commit-watcher as a Jenkins plug-in to watch 3rd 
party dependencies of the open-source projects I use to find undisclosed 
security vulnerabilities and patches.

I have 0 experience writing these plugins (I'm an infosec guy helping 
design better CI pipelines) - how should I go about this?

Thanks for your time

Daniel
