Yeah, I do agree. It is in my plan list, volunteers are welcome for this feature.
Oh... I would volunteer but I don't know how stuffs work for font development. If you could make some tutorial and examples, I would surely volunteer.
tutorials available here http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/editexample.html mostly used already designed shape and edit it for new glyphs/characters it keep consistency across shapes
we do have another bug for Vedic extentions #798871
