Is this implemented somewhere in a script, or is this functionality available via other means?

It is supposed to be in GIMP 2.4. There is however still a bug in the implementation and if no one manages to fix it in time, we might have to back this new feature out.

Watch this tutorial:

It is told how to do it step by step. No automatic action though. I believe story about rotating and cropping begins in minute 2 or so.

I see, do you mean there is no one involved with fixing this, and that you are just hoping that somebody is going to do it?

The respective bug report is on the 2.4 milestone but so far no one appears to be working on a fix:
