Yes, the plan was to have it by now :)
There was a failed Google Summer of Code 2010 project to rework saving/exporting and add various additional file formats to the current Export Bitmap dialog.
Will it be implemented? Eventually. When? When someone volunteers.
There is another possible way. sK1 Project has started similar work for TIFF format support as output. So may be this issue will be resolved using UniConvertor.
Only as a workaround. There is a somewhat popular demand to export selections to TIFF, JPEG, SVG, EPS and even PDF. That means you can't just 'Save a copy' like now, you need to extend functionality of the existing dialog. I really am not sure that UC would be of any help here.
