NiFi - Support SASL/OAUTHBEARER in Kafka processors

[#1]

I need to authenticate to a Kafka Broker using OAuth. 

I am looking at the Apache NiFi issues pages and see this URL to add support for SASL/OAUTHBEARER to the Kafka 3 processors which now have an allowable values list of SASL mechanisms - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7421

Does anyone know if this will ever be implemented?

Otherwise, does anyone have any list of ideas I could use to achieve this requirement?
