This means it probably is a frontend to HAL, you should know, that HAL is a deprecated piece of software (see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal). You could start by porting gnome-device-manager to udev/udisks/upower so that it won't be obsoleted anytime soon :). Anyway, I think it would be best to get involved in the Gnome community and ask them about how can you help (http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome). Hope this helps.
