We (superfeedr) have created a hub exactly like this : we susbcribed to the right users with the streaming API (that they've had for months), and rebuild the feeds from it. It's technically fully fonctionnal.
I got in touch with Ryan Sarver and John Kalucki who said that this hub would be breaking their TOS (which specifically mentions that we can't redistribute/resyndicate/republish the data) and that if we turn it on, they'd probably shut our access down. I believed this is more or less what happend to GNIP last year. Since I hate building things that are not "durable" and I don't want to piss off people with false expectations, I never turned it on. If Twitter ever changes their TOS or is even willing to discuss this specific matter with us, we're more than happy to turn this hub on.
