I think there is demand for it, but code-wise, it might need a full rewrite.It also might make sense to contribute the improved helper to flymake.el directly, rather than have it as an external package - then the built-in modes could also use it.
Because what I have to do at the moment, is copy ruby-flymake--helper with minor variations to use for each backend, and that's not ideal.
Meanwhile the users of flymake-easy who target older versions of Flymake (including the current release) could continue to use the existing version, since the obsolete API is still supported (I think), just not quite recommended.
