I've opened a new feature request on kombu related to this feature. In the mean time, I'd argue that the current proposed code is strictly no worse than the code in master, so it would be an improvement. I suggest we give it a few days to see if anything happens upstream and if not go ahead with this change for now.
I did get some feedback from some gchristensen in the #celery channel that the queue_declare
approach isn't completely insane, so that's something. There was some discussion of the celery inspect api, but I'm pretty sure that's mostly focussed to inspecting the state of workers rather than the state of the queue itself.
There is a related issue on the hirefire side about reserved tasks (#8) but I feel that's somewhat orthogonal.
The ticket has been open on Kombu for two weeks now, whilst it may happen at some point I'm not in a position to start providing actual code to improve kombu with this feature.
Given that this works (I'm running it in production), I propose we merge it and cut a release.

Not all of kombu's backends have a _size() paramater. Notably, neither of the AMQP backends do. In both cases (py-amqp and librabbitmq) we can passively declare a queue (catching the does not exist error) and get the number of queued messages from there.
Tested locally with Redis, py-amqp and librabbitmq.
