It has been discussed for years but hasn't been implemented. The
musicbrainz library has (at least in the past) been really crappy
quality so there hasn't been much energy to invest in musicbrainz.

A couple of years ago I actually submitted a Google Summer of Code
project to add album-based tagging using Amazon to get the track
information. It didn't get accepted and I never implemented it, but
anyways tagging a whole album at a time makes a lot of sense to me.

Not really, the 1.4 branch is for bug fixes only.

For 2.0 sure, or commit yourself.
