"The (D-Bus) interface of the subsystem daemons, that is
DeviceKit-disks, DeviceKit-power, is not in any way Linux specific. We
will take patches for other operating systems."[1]

So have GNOME distributors of non-linux platforms tried to provide
patches, or is this approach seen as a problem (if so, why)?

Just asking,
