I read at http://linux.yyz.us/sata/software-status.html that "libata
does not support hotplug... yet", implying that it eventually would.

I am very interested in the current state and progress of SATA hotplug
support for libata-based drivers (specifically the 'sata_promise'
driver for the Promise TX4 card).  Has there been any preliminary work
or discussion on this feature?

How would it best be implemented?  How much of a pain would it be to
do?  Are there any half-baked patches out there I can take a peek at
or help with?  Who can I prod to bump this up on the priority list for
libata?  What should I prod with?
