For some context on how this has been tried before:
* http://yubnub.org/ http://yubnub.org/ - one of the first if not first to create a community around web commands. Primitive string substitution
* http://queri.ac http://queri.ac (disclaimer: I maintained it for awhile) - a small community of web commands. Supported options, bookmarklets and more. Browser-independent.
* ubiquity, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity, - improved on web commands by having them written in javascript and had an awesome API for combining commands and rendering command output. However, it was firefox-specific.
The main innovation I see with duckduckhack is that they're using github to foster contribution.
