DescribeFeatureType should return annotation from custom schema.xsd

Description:

xsd:annotation can be used to add human- or machine readable information to the schema. In client applications, this could be used to provide titles and descriptions for attribute display or editing components, e.g.

<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="PERSONS" nillable="true" type="xsd:double">
    <xsd:annotation>
        <xsd:appinfo>{"title":{"en":"Population"}}</xsd:appinfo>
        <xsd:documentation xml:lang="en">
            Number of persons living in the state
        </xsd:documentation>
    </xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>

Unfortunately GeoServer strips the content of the annotation element, so this does not work. The desired behavior would be that GeoServer passes on the full annotation as provided in schema.xsd.
