I am not yet an official developer but I am interested in assisting in maintaining this.

I wasn't aware it had issues or lacked a maintainer.

I hope this call will find a dedicated maintainer; if not, I will pick
this up later. But I do hope it finds someone else, as my plates are
rather full.

I don't use it yet because then I wouldn't be able to test fixes or
write fixes to bug 613222 as plymouth would workaround this. After that
bug is fixed, I plan to use plymouth together with dracut+disk
encryption, etc.

So if no-one steps up in the meantime, please don't remove the work
already there (I also know people that use it successfully as-is). But
I hope someone else does step up, please!
