Organize : file management automation tool
As you've already found, Organize is pretty great. I don't have it running on any of my servers, but I've used it on multiple client systems before with great success. I'd highly recommend it.

Selfhosted Hazel
I use Organize for housekeeping of files.

Check out DuckieTV (or something similar, duckie is just the one I like) and Organize (just to automatically organize from the download folder to your library)

Action on folder
On Mac there is (was?) Hazel, the closest thing on Linux is tfeldmann/organize: The file management automation tool., it uses Python. An alternative would be benjaminoakes/maid: Be lazy. Let Maid clean up after you, based on rules you define. Think of it as "Hazel for hackers"., but it uses Ruby, which I don't know.

What application do you want to see in gnome?
Organize is very good, it's written in modern python, and easy to use, but Hazel is still easier. Maid has arguably a better name, but is written in ruby, which I'm not proficient in.

Better filesystem
My suggestion? Try some of those programs and see what works best for you. Actually, another suggestion: if you are a home user and not managing complex systems, you could simply create some scripts to keep things organized, take a look here: https://github.com/tfeldmann/organize it's just an example, there are hundreds of projects like that, you could use them or get some ideas to create your own tools. We all have different needs after all.

Set content to expire
I’ve not attempted this, but in researching what you could do… you can use Maid to check each metadata XML file for various criteria:

Selfhosted Hazel
If you're looking for an alternative to hazel, check out maid
- is it possible to have a standalone rakefile?
-
Hazel for Linux
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is https://github.com/benjaminoakes/maid. But the rules are created in Ruby which is not really easy for some users. And as far as I know there is no graphical user interface.
