Wondering the same here :) I think there are some parallel threads here (SSL is independent of Kerberos, as far as I can see).
Kerberos work is blocked on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1683 - "Implement a "session" concept in the socket server". So there's no point in picking up other tasks before this is assigned (and at least designed). I'm looking at Kafka Brokers authentication with ZooKeeper since this looks independent of other tasks.
