How can I properly file the feature request?


My first thought would be to hook dislocker into a udev rule. Presumably 
you have one drive (or a small handful) which you can uniquely identify 
(either by serial number or by filesystem UUID or similar). The idea is 
that you write a udev rule that, when udev sees that device, executes a 
script to decrypt the drive. Note that udev-executed scripts *should* 
return promptly so, if necessary, work in some sort of asyncronicity if 
you need to ask for a password or if decryption takes some time.
