I think that the open source nature of this project would help in that regard. Since there wouldn't be a specific set of hardware tied to it like with the Echo and other devices, you could make a rig that only begins listening upon being prompted to by a button.
Might be just me, but "look I made something similar here is the link" without any more info or mention of how it's relevant sounds a lot like piggybacking off of the success of this thread to promote your own project.
