Sounds great to me!

Yep, shouldn't be too hard to add, I expect.

I'm not aware of any work so far to that end, but have a feeling you
could reuse http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/yaml2ical
and make sure the schedule is maintained in a compatible YAML
layout. You might need to write/tweak a Sphinx extension to
transform it into RST so it can be embedded into the rendered
version of the schedule, but if so you can get inspiration from
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ossa/tree/doc/source/_exts/vmt.py
which does very similar things.
