Can you explain the problem you are looking to solve?

Sure:
Using phabricator with a various team on different project not every need to see the task I am adding to phabricator.
When I do arc todo "some task" the task is visible to all user by default. This is a problem for us as a lot of users on our platform are external contractor and don't necessary need to see what is happening in other projects.
I was thinking something like arc todo -u "me" "some task" or arc todo "my task" --private so that only the creator of the task will be able to see the task in phabricator

We are not likely to pursue this in the upstream as a one-off. T3820 likely will resolve your specific use case, and we'd likely build that into Conduit/APIs, but not full-blown Policies - at least for some time.
