Unfortunately, Google does not generally announce API features before they are released. They have, however, demonstrated a willingness to add user suggestions that prove popular on the issue tracker. My recommendation would be to add it to the tracker, which you can find at the link below:
http://code.google.com/p/google-ajax-apis/issues/list That said, I would be surprised if Google actually implemented this feature for a couple of reasons. First, most of the reviews that they display on their site are found from different sources on the web; they would have to sign licensing agreements for all that content. And second, if they provided that information via the API, there would be little distinction between the applications which could be built with the API and their maps.google.com property; they would be directly cannibalizing their own traffic and, subsequently, ad revenues.
