Feature Request - Ability to send message to user that may not have initiated the conversation about poshbot

[michaeltlombardi]

So in this case, it'd be using event/regex triggers but specific only to the person who requested them? Something like:

!notify me when @rayterrill is online

Then when you come online, PoshBot DMs me something like:

Psst! @rayterrill is online now!

This would probably be best suited to a separate plugin that you could use to wrap existing plugin commands for personal install of channel/global use. It'd require some stateful storage and lookups to handle multiple users saving their own personal notifications.

Could also be some good use for groups - for example:

!Notify @rayterrill, @michaeltlombardi when ^New Incident (MyApp)\

And then we get mentioned or DM'd or whatever when New Incident (MyApp): WebServer01 Unresponsive pops up in chat a couple hours later.

@michaeltlombardi This sounds perfect. :D

I've got some other contributions I'm making this week, so if someone picks this up in the near future, great! If not, I'll keep this on my back burner. Sounds like a pretty neat plugin!
