Plans yes, action no :-(  I'm afraid I have very little time for LXR 
these days, hence the lack of releases, patches etc.  If you'd like to

Drop me a mail with your SF details and I can get you set up.

More backends welcome - some of the recent work on BK/Git should make 
implementing this easier, since at least what has to be done is now 
documented!
