Maybe a stupid question, but I'll go ahead and ask it anyway:  Why isn't
it an option to allow members of certain groups to mount the device?
So if a user's group `owns' the mountpoint, and of course the user has
write access to the point node, the mount can take place.

If needed, the owner of the mount point can be set to, say, root, so the
users can't change the group ownership of the mountpoint.

I suppose there are security issues with this, but I would like to know
what these are exactly.

Regards,
Peter
