I haven't done this with wordpress specifically, but I've done basically the same thing and it wouldn't be any problem to turn it into a plugin. There are a few different ways to go about it with different advantages and disadvantages.
The easiest part is taking a feed and dumping it into structured data, thumbnails, images and all that. I'm guessing all the feeds will have a degree of similarity where one mechanism can handle all of them, but if not it's no problem to have sort of plugins within the plugin, just a few lines each to accommodate abnormal situations.
The real work here is deciding the business logic behind how a feed is defined, how it's paired with a template, tagging or categorizing posts and all that. All very simple, it just needs to be clearly defined and broken down to accommodate any scenario.
I'll gladly do it either for a small fee, a piece of the action if I see potential, or we could even possibly go in on making this a commercial plugin.
