The Language Agnostic, All-Purpose, Incredible, Makefile
An interesting read, but I would personally say to stick to the language-specific process. Ie Rakefiles for Ruby, a task in your build.gradle or npm run deps as it'll handle things nicer in a language / stack you're more familiar in, although I totally see why you'd want a language-agnostic interace

Well, I think I've cracked it - after a few weeks of on-and-off work on making my webmention sending not spam everyone (see https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/30/reader-mail-webmention-spam/ ) - it's now not re-sending them if they're successful. This is a good first step, but I'll be improving it to re-send if the post's data has changed since last time it tried (in the future).
Note that this isn't quite done yet, expect it to be live tomorrow perhaps.

Its especially bad if using a shared CI/CD server and putting downloaded files into /tmp as you don't know whether it'll be clobbered / stolen by others on the instance
