Yes, there is no _real_ code for handling scanners, only for the UI and
configuration storing.

So you are really welcome to add this missing code. You can take a look
and search for "printer" in the code to check how it is handled;
scanners should be very similar.

You may want to open a bug for this on http://bugzilla.gnome.org to
where you can submit your initial patches and get review.
