I don't have any hands-on experience with Fedora Message Bus. But we can ask the
Messaging SIG guys [1]. On their mindmap they even have MirrorManager mentioned as one of
their use cases.
My naive idea is that there would be a simple script (Python or whatever the qpid library
has bindings for) that would connect to the bus and wait for the user-defined event, then
trigger a user-defined command. We could distribute the script as part of the
MirrorManager toolkit. I don't have any MirrorManager experience either, so maybe this
could be easily integrated into the existing set of scripts.
This is basically why I propose this, to learn more about the topic and see whether there
is someone willing to go ahead and try to implement this.

I wrote some scripts to do similar functionality a few years ago when
we were talking AMQP. Users could subscribe to packages and get gnome
notifications when bohdi or koji events took place. I also actually
made that mindmap at the Toronto fudcon a few years back. Maybe I can
look into this again in the next week when I get back from vacation.
