If this is something you're interested in, you could start by making a copy of org-babel-gnuplot.el, and then search/replace gnuplot/gri, and you'll be most of the way there. The gnuplot file already has support for dropping tables to tab-separated files, and then placing the paths to those files into the body of code blocks, which may be sufficient for table support in gri -- although having not heard of gri before this email I can't say for sure.
