Thumbnail for RSS/ATOM Feeds

Question:
How/Where does one specify a thumbnail url to be used when displaying the list of plugin feeds. The Thumbnail box in the console is greyed out, and there appears to be no tag in the rss header for a feed thumbnail, although there are feed item media:thumbnails. I'm tired of seeing blank folder icons.

For RSS try something like


  Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd">
   <channel>

Thanks. The following worked perfectly for my livefeed.groovy RSS's, but for RSS acquired from the web, should not the thumbnail field in the console be available?
I'll raise a ticket with the request.
