> As calibre user I want it to work out of the box ... I agree with ravomavain on this, gksu is the way to go.
The mount helper was only used if udisks is not present. calibre still works out of the box on the vast majority of modern Linux distros.
Adding support for gksu would require dependencies (and the inclusion) on GTK, PolicyKit and gksu-polkit. I don't see it being very likely that a distro that does not support udisks will support all of the requirements for gksu. Remember the mount helper was only a fall back when better methods (udisk) was not present.
Also calibre is a Qt project. A Qt (not GTK) solution would make more sense.
