Looks like that is item #14 on the projects list. http://bacula.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bacula/bacula;a=blob;f=bacula/projects;hb=HEAD If you do not know the projects list is a list of submitted feature requests that generally get voted on before each major release and the results of the vote steer the developers on what is most important to users.
