For what it's worth, Ubuntu 14.04 is sticking with the same (relatively old) version of Nautilus as Ubuntu 13.10, so an addition from upstream won't make it to your Ubuntu desktop for a year, at least, anyway. If you want to make sure it does, you should check if the Nautilus package maintainers in Ubuntu are happy to incorporate an extra distro patch.
Also, small suggestion: please avoid wording this as an issue (as in something that is not working as intended). What you have here is a feature request. It sometimes grates on people when feature requests are phrased that way because it can seem kind of pushy and hostile, even when that isn't the intent - and that's never the best foot to start off with :)
