Right now, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to
approve requests. The plan is to change the "central" wiki for OAuth
to Meta instead of mediawiki.org, and at the same time turn this
permission over to the community to manage. See bug 57336[1] for
details.

I don't believe this is planned at all. I don't recall the details,
but the decision to allow only oob was based on a potential security
issue with allowing for in-band control of the callbacks. I'm CCing
Chris, who can fill us in on those details (I don't know if he's on
this list).
