Yes, good point.

Also, it would better fit into the dbus module rather than the gnome
one.

And I think when it is actually getting used, for example by
gnome-system-tools, it needs at least some policy modifications to the
dbus module (e.g. corecmd_exec_shell+corecmd_exec_bin), so it's a bit
more complicated than just that.

Perhaps, this is a better starting point ?
