oops, why ? Why gnome team to not use gnome config to store this
matching ?

I guess it is much better to use devfs.rules file:

% cat /etc/devfs.rules
[devfsrules_common=7]
add path 'da*'   mode 660 group operator
add path 'acd*'  mode 660 group operator
add path 'cd*'   mode 660 group operator
add path 'pass*' mode 660 group operator
add path 'xpt*'  mode 660 group operator
% fgrep devfs /etc/rc.conf
devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules_common"
% 

This approach configures device permission on devfs on adding drive
automatically, also with ATA-based (or any other not-USB) memory stick
there is no USB attach event. 
('operator' group can be changed to 'cdrom' or like)
