Being entirely community driven, there is no roadmap per se. Individual
developers can have personal roadmaps, but at the end of the day it's the
collective development community that decide what goes in.

There is a wiki page which contains a lot of material on the attempts made so
far, with lots of links to discussions which may be of interest:

There are several backup tools which support PostgreSQL which can also encrypt
the data at rest in the archive. If thats what you're looking for then there
should be options available.
