Possible to add Busy/Available feature to friends list?

It's occurred many times now where a friend has challenged me, or vice versa, and the challenge was declined, and then followed up with an inbox message to explain why the one player declined.

Could it be possible to add an icon that indicates when one of your friends is "Available" or "Busy" (something as simple as a green or red circle)? Because sometimes you're logged in, but doing something other than playing a game like doing tactics or watching another game, but your friends would not know this simply by hovering over your name in the friends' list menu. I think it would be a useful feature to cut down on having to send direct messages back and forth to explain that you are not available to play at the moment.
Possible and 'planned', but a dev needs to step up and do it. github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/354 I think thibault is pretty busy with a huge upcoming feature, and if I could dig up some time it would be for other stuff...
"huge upcoming feature"? Please tell us more (⚆ ͜ʖ⚆)
For sure, I understand there are more and better features related to chess that the devs are working on. I don't at all expect this to be done "soon." Great to know that it's being considered, though!
