This can already be done in gnome-volume-control.

No, not really interested in seeing this in gnome-bluetooth, though I
seem to remember a third-party PulseAudio applet that could maybe do
that.
See:

If you have specific use cases, such as using a Bluetooth headset for
telephony applications, it should be handled directly in
gnome-volume-control, with help from PulseAudio.
