Another thought just occurred to me...if you had this addon and someone else walked by you escorting one of the quest NPCs and the NPC spoke/emoted, would it trigger the addon? How difficult would it be to check that you're on the escort quest, and not just a bystander?

Yes it would. Checking for that would add a *lot* of extra complexity, especially because you couldn't just check to see if you were on the quest, you'd have to make sure that you were actively doing the escort, which would involve writing code to detect the start/fail/success of each different escort (most would be made easier because the escort and quest are the same thing, but some of them aren't). Anyway, I wouldn't bother unless you want to actually get into addon coding, in which case it would be an interesting (although tedious) first project.
A workaround might be a slash command that toggled the announce on and off?
