This is a D-Bus activated service.
You can kill that service and run it via
HOTPLUG_SNIFFER_DEBUG=true /usr/lib/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-hotplug-sniffer
if you want to see a more verbose output of that process

Afaics, this process is triggered by the autorun manager in gnome-shell.
(js/ui/components/autorunManager.js).

For completeness sake, could you attach the output of
$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.media-handling

Usually, gnome-shell-hotplug-sniffer should be activated when removable
media is plugged in, it then searches for autorun files and quits itself
after a timeout.

It seems to somehow gets stuck on your system. As said, maybe running it
in debug mode will give more info.
