Not sure why this jira ticket was not updated when the PR above was merged. 
KIP-558 has now been implemented, therefore I'm closing this ticket and marking it _{{done}}_.

> Now that soon (after [KIP-158|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-158%3A+Kafka+Connect+should+allow+source+connectors+to+set+topic-specific+settings+for+new+topics] is implemented) source connectors will be able to create topics during runtime with custom topic-specific properties, in ways beyond what automatic topic creation could allow, a nice new feature would be to also keep track which topics are actually used per connector, after such a connector is created. 
> This information could be exposed by extending the Connect REST API to add a topics endpoint under the connector endpoint (similar to the status or config endpoints).
