This rule, from the current udev git tree (it's been there for a
while, though):

# type 8 devices are "Medium Changers"
KERNEL="sg*", SUBSYSTEMS="scsi", ATTRS{type}="8", IMPORT{program}="scsi_id --export --whitelisted --fallback-to-sysfs -s %p -d $tempnode", SYMLINK+="tape/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}"

is intended to create a symlink in /dev/tape/by-id for changer
devices.  It's in etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules
