This is a very good suggestion.  If someone wanted to pursue adding 
asynchronous hooks into qualify status (or anything else) within the 
Asterisk C code, it wouldn't be too hard to add.

I would suggest finding where we generate manager events for qualify 
status today and generating an ast_event there.  This part is probably 
something we could merge.  (See event.h, and search for instances of 
ast_event_queue for examples of code that generates events).

Then, create a new module to subscribe to those events and act on them. 
  We have API calls that make it very easy to originate a call to start 
dialplan execution (ast_pbx_outgoing_exten()).  The Channel part of the 
"call" could just be Local/extensionThatJustAnswersAndWaitsForever.  The 
extension would be where you handle your response to the event. 
Alternatively, instead of originating a "call", you could run a shell 
script, just execute the queue add/remove member applications directly, 
etc etc etc...
