Hi there,

I think this feature is not planned before the non-beta release because the credo before that is to make code stronger and correct all small bugs.

But this is a good idea for a module, Ubercart provide all hook you need to do that and it should be pretty easy.

Let's see the order hook here. You can try to adapt the code of an existing module like Lead tracker. The difference is that you have to get a list of your user in a selected role and don't show the pane on the checkout process.
