I found the respective message:

Back then you wrote that the patch is not ready yet.  I think providing
the possibility to call a function on the macro arguments is a nice idea
for "power users".  It would probably be good to provide easier ways for
customizing as well.  In your message you mentioned `format'.  If we
could use that for the spec string it would be pretty easy for people
not proficient in Lisp to cope with challenges as described by Rasmus.
I haven't checked if this is possible, though.

By the way, do you have copyright assignment papers for AUCTeX on file?
