Yes, this is a wanted feature.

I can't see anything crazy in it. :-) Actually I was already asked by my
friend about the possibility of using LDAP as the PR storage.
However, no new features will get into GNATS 4.0. I think the backend
architecture and the MIME handling could be the main feature candidates
for the first non-bug-fix release after 4.0. Of course, we can start
discussing the API and architecture now and you can also work on a
preliminary implementation in the meantime, just don't expect it to have
it in 4.0.

OK.
BTW, please note I'll be soon out of Internet for about a week or two.
