Both of your requests have been received on this list before, but so far no
one has introduced a nice patch introducing them.

I would say that Philippe Raoult has come closest, as he submitted a patch
back in March that adds a callback for the certificate verification:

(See that thread for my comments and why it wasn't applied, yet.)

I (and others) would certainly appreciate it!

I guess Philippe's patch could be used as the basis, and then the tiny quirks
could be smoothened and then we are game. At least that's what I think, I'll
admit I haven't been investigating the patch very closely.
