This is a great post. I've really enjoyed experimenting with the Slack webhook. Some feedback:

In your raise function: other than for readability, I don't see an advantage to declaring separate variables for WebhookURL and postParams when SlackIncomingWebhookURL can simply be used in http.PostForm and Sprintf can be used when json.Marshal-ing the SlackMessage.

Also, is there a reason you've declared so many variables and constants globally? In my version of the program I moved the githubStatus declaration inside main.
