As a reminder.
The simplest will probably to transpose gamin's hurd support (gamin/server/gam_hurd_mach_notify.c) as a GLocalFileMonitor backend,
using gio/kqueue/gkqueuefilemonitor.c as a skeleton example.

As a result of gamin being unmaintained upstream (see #1008205), a branch
was recently merged for GLib 2.73.x that will remove GLib's fam-based GFileMonitor backend. This means that in the next GNOME release cycle,
which should reach Debian in approximately 6 months, there will be no GLocalFileMonitor backend suitable for use on Hurd, unless Hurd developers take action before then.
One option would be for Hurd developers to add a GLocalFileMonitor
backend to GLib upstream, alongside the GInotifyFileMonitor (for Linux)
and the GKqueueFileMonitor (for FreeBSD and kFreeBSD).
Another option would be for Hurd developers to create and maintain
an out-of-tree GLocalFileMonitor backend (a GIO module that implements G_LOCAL_FILE_MONITOR_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME, analogous to the GIO modules in src:gvfs and src:glib-networking that implement various other extension points), which could do whatever Hurd-specific things are desired.
I do not intend to work on this myself, and I do not intend to merge significant features into src:glib2.0 as Debian-specific patches.
