Thanks for the idea. The only obstacle, preventing from using dmeventd right away, is that it can unmount/extend full snapshots, while I need to have them switched to read-only.
And the final question: is it planned to integrate control over snapshots to lvm itself and how soon if yes?

Never let snapshots fill up - use dmeventd instead and intervene in
a controlled way before they are full.
The lvconvert -s man page is too subtle and needs improving.
