Yes. This protocols helps to store data other than emails (for instance it could be used to store documents, see the works from the unhosted project). Implementing webfinger is perhaps already done (Gmail and Yahoo implement it), it's just an obscure stuff no one really has heard about but it could be of perennial importance.
I never heard about it, and I doubt that it is even available for simple e-mail forwarders. We will not *store* user's e-mails, but rather *forward* them to their real account. So, at least mid-term, for the @libreoffice.org forwarding service, I doubt webfinger will be important. I we plan to have something like an hosted or cloud solution, it might get important later on. :-)
