I’m sorry to say that this is currently not on the plugins’ roadmap. The security implications are a little bit complicated and we very much err on the side of privacy/security first, federation by definition leans public vs private.

For the next little while, we want to focus on getting the plugin to a stable state and having it be actively used in a number of instances.
