You could use NoReply annotation for methods:

<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply" value="true"/>

This is as if you use async call. You just have no async return value.
You've to send a signal back if you need it. I always do this and name
the back-signal with suffix "Result".

This should work. But yes, async code as in glib handling would be nice.

Do you know if someone else is working on it? I ask only because you
sau "enter master branch" as if it's implemented in another branch.
