How does this differ from D-BUS? Hm, in looking at your page, it says
you are using D-BUS messages. Oh, have you looked at udev too? It will
handle naming the devices for you in /dev.

As was already posted, anyone can get /sbin/hotplug events by just
dropping a link into the proper directory. Also, D-BUS messages will be
created for all /sbin/hotplug events too. You might want to work with
that if it's easier for you.
Hope this helps,
