Comment 22 for bug 876626

@Benjamin: I am grateful for general FLOSS development, but I am totally pissed at the way Ubuntu is handling passphrase input for crypto disks at boot.

It started almost two years ago with bug 566818.
Then it became a security issue last year with bug 778659.
Now this on has been idling for four months.

I would be able to look over this, if there were clear responsibilities and a working process, fixing it in a reasonable time frame.

But it's "Importance: Undecided" for plymouth and Oneiric?
It's only assigned to someone in Precise upstart, too?
Why has the assignee not commented here once?
If plymouth may be responsible, has upstream been contacted? (Nothing in their Bugtracker).
