Hi,

It won't happen unless someone puts in the work. GIMP development is entirely voluntary, so if you want this, submit a patch to make the necessary changes. Otherwise, you leave it to chance whether this ever gets implemented. Posting feature requests here tends to annoy the developers. It is a good place to discuss the details of a feature you'd like to implement, though. Only saying 'we need this' will not encourage anyone to work on implementing it; volunteer coders code because it's fun or personally rewarding, not because something is wanted by someone else that they do not know.

Isn't this a feature that is on the [unwritten] "won't be implemented because it will Just Work if we ever get GEGL integrated with GIMP" list?

Nothing will just work when GEGL is used. But you are right that it will be a lot easier as sharing of pixel data between layers and masks will be trivial as soon as everything is a graph.

It does also seem that this feature will benefit from layer groups (or even require them). But so far the proposal is by no means specific enough to comment on it.
