That has already happened: on the master branch, org-link-escape-chars
is (see commit abe931dca9c4c634fe9495eff7579ca952eb8b98):

,----
| (defconst org-link-escape-chars
|   ;;%20 %5B %5D
|   '(?\  ?\[ ?\])
|   "List of characters that should be escaped in a link when stored to Org.
| This is the list that is used for internal purposes.")
`----

It's going to be visible in the next release.
