As You perhaps already encountered, William created a patch for it (s. 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54896).

No, at least not on my roadmap. There are only a very few formats and 
programs which support bitmap images with spot color planes. The only 
formats for bitmap images I know are TIFF (really seldom used with spot 
planes and if a TIFF contains spot planes most programs just ignore it 
or complains about it) and PSD (Photoshop native) which has a better 
support for it but is even more rarely supported. So it makes no much 
sense to create a bitmap image with spot planes.
