Um, I thought this was supposed to solve that problem:

commit 279afdfe78a020b4b1a68bffd0009b961b12982e
Author: Ewan D. Milne <emilne@xxxxxxxxxx>

    [SCSI] Generate uevents on certain unit attention codes

The idea was supposed to be that, as you say, log scrubbers are hard to
configure and break every time someone fixes a spelling error, so we
could now listen for a report luns data change uevent instead.
