Jenkins still doesn to provide the ability to listen for executor
changes.  It only allows listening to slave node changes with the
ComputerListener[1] extension point.  It doesn't seem like there's any
plans in Jenkins core to provide this in future releases.  If that's
not available then gearman cannot provide the functionality that you
request.
