Description of problem:

Open Shotwell, plug-in phone, phone never appears for photo import.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

shotwell-0.28.3-1.fc28.x86_64
libgphoto2-2.5.16-3.fc28.x86_64
systemd-udev-238-8.git0e0aa59.fc28.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Shotwell
2. plug-in Android phone, tried both MTP or PTP modes
3. photo import never starts


Additional info: 

This used to work in Fedora 27, but stopped as soon as I upgraded to
Fedora 28.

I traced it down to udev not tagging the device properly with ID_GPHOTO2
according to the udev rule:

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2.rules:ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6860", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1",
ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="proprietary", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"


If you run `udevadm monitor -p` you will see that once you plug in the device, the "add" event tags the device properly, but then comes the "bind" event which untags it! The workaround in my case is the following change in the udev rules of libgphoto2:

diff /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2.rules{.orig,}
7c7
< ACTION!="add", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
---
> ACTION!="add|bind", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"


However this is not specific to libgphoto2! If you run the above udevadm
command, you'll see that more tags added at the "add" event are being
removed with the "bind" event. Probably all udev rules need to be
changed!

I believe I've found related bug reports, with much more software
misbehaving:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890641
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8221


Given that the brokenness appeared once I updated to Fedora 28, which included an update of systemd from 234 to 238, and given the above bug reports, I'm filing this under the "systemd" project. Feel free to recategorise as you deem.
