No.  I'm the one it'd be easy for, but I'm already behind on other
urgent things, so not sure when I'll get to it.

It should - Paul already took care of all the hard bits when he got
vector Dirichlet boundaries working.

That's certainly a good reason to want vector PBCs with offsets.  If
you want to try and speed up the works: write a patch with the API and
test case yourself (i.e. give PeriodicBoundary similar functors to
DirichletBoundary, add a new vector_fe example using them) and I'll
find it slightly easier and much more motivating to see if I can get
the implementation passing that test this weekend.
