Reverse proxy header authentication

I have recently discovered Authelia, which works with a reverse proxy (Traefik, in my case) to provide authentication and authorisation. If an application supports it, it’s very elegant - the reverse proxy takes care of all the authentication and session data, and the application just needs to pay attention to HTTP headers (Remote-User, primarily) to know who is currently logged in. Would be great if reverse proxy header authentication could be added to the roadmap!
