Sounds a lot like what openSUSE's Open Build Service does. I think they
automatically trigger rebuilds of dependees when a provide they depend
on goes away due to a rebuild, so SONAME bumps are a breeze.

I'm wondering why is the functionality built into a separate service
instead of Koji, the build system itself?
