There is a separate authorization patch, which depends on the current
one (authentication, encryption, multi-threading) so I'll be pushing it
as soon as its predecessor is ready.  For now, you can view it here:

Yes, there is a long term plan for that.  The overall plan is to merge
the HekaFS functionality into GlusterFS, but integrating the management
pieces is the most difficult part of that (no convenient translator API
there) so it's going to take a while.
