Is Facebook planning to add functionality to allow developers to access the new "life events" posted on a user's timeline? How about those posted on a friend's timeline?
Thanks!

Life events are not currently readable via the API for a user or their friends.
Keep an eye on the updates at http://developers.facebook.com/blog which is where we'll announce this functionality if and when its it built.
if you're building an app which wants to publish life events, the best current suggestion is to model them as custom actions and custom objects on the open graph and build timeline aggregations which show these objects off to at their best.
The bug reported on facebook about this issue was closed on 3rd October 2013. So, I don't think anybody at Facebook is working on making this feature available via API.
