git-openopensource tool? Ie. Automated open open sourcing a repo

I've now openopensourced quite a few of my repos now, and have been following @rvagg's approach used on https://github.com/rvagg/node-levelup

The process of doing it for me anyway has been:

get a list of past contributors (usually just going through past PRs or looking through the commit history) to create a contributors table.
Add a version of CONTRIBUTING.md
Add a new issue to the repo (like https://github.com/eugeneware/debowerify/issues/53) @ notifying past contributors of the new friendlier regime.
...
profit!

Most of this could be automated

Would be pretty cool to be able to do:

$ git openopensource init
# do the local git changes
$ git openopensource notify
# open an issue on github

Using something like https://github.com/tj/git-extras to get the hard work done would be pretty easy.

For me, that's the biggest barrier to openopensourcing practically ALL my repos, is just a simple way to do the grunt work.

I'm pretty much doing it for each major PR I get on projects now. And particularly for the dozens of modules that I don't really use currently but are still in use by others.

Thoughts?
