(Get the code!)
This is a tricky one. This would only work for machines when they have a 1:1 mapping with the BMC< and the BMC has a MAC address.
The complexity here is that MAAS uses the MAC address of the machine to uniquely identify it. You cannot say the same thing when using a BMC because the BMC can be shared among various machines. Even if you were to have a BMC, you cannot uniquely identify it unless it has a MAC attached to it.
Even then, you can have an IPMI based chassis with will be a single BMC for a whole bunch of machines. Also, you can add BMC's as devices in MAAS and after that add a machine. The BMC will continue to be a Device.
