Thanks for the update, and for the large set of references!

Is anyone here excited in working on this topic?

Personally, I'd much rather see work towards having TrueCrypt volumes
supported in udisks2 and GNOME Disks, than adding a second GUI to
manage encrypted volumes: having to choose between two tools with
overlapping functionality seems like a recipe for bad UX, to me.
But of course it's a matter of "how much we really want TrueCrypt
volumes support in a GUI" vs. "the UX regression of adding a tool with
duplicated functionality".

Cheers,
