I'm not, but I'm working on similar tools using ParseTree and my 
ruby2ruby toy. Doing something like flawfinder would be pretty easy 
using ParseTree's SexpProcessor. I'd like to extend the ParseTree to 
have something like PCCTS/Antlr's tree pattern matching and rewriting 
system. Then it would be entirely trivial.
