Hi, implementing auto ejection on Gnome is easy. The problem is that, since Basenji is multiplatform, this feature must be implemented for other platforms (i.e. Windows) as well . The last time I looked into it, I didn't find a satisfying solution that works across multiple windows versions. Apart from this I don't have much free time to implement new features.

On ther other hand, the volume-scanner-daemon, a tool that runs in the background and scans every media you insert into a specific drive automatically, features automatic disk ejection. The tool is is linux only and uses Basenji's Database library.
