FWIW I'd be interested to have an opt-in configurable timeout builtin
inside askpass, with a configurable trigger poweroff / suspend / exit() / whatever.

This would solve #970224 and #994682.  Not super keen to configure it
via crypttab(5) options though: I guess one would want the same timeout
& trigger action for all devices anyway, and I'd prefer to avoid adding
new generic options which other crypttab consumers don't understand and
might conflict later.
