It is planned but I don't expect to find the time for that in the near future, especially as this is not my itch. But I'd be willing to assist you in resurrecting a four year old patch for that from Lars Hjemli. It is archived in my GitHub repo: https://github.com/jlehmann/git-submod-enhancements/tree/archive--submodules
