This bug was originally posted February 2024.  I assume this has not been
licked up for a few reasons.

1.  The description is far from accurate at this point.  It makes it sound like
a mild annoyance when in fact it is a pretty nasty bug.
2.  Because of different PAM policies for different distros, there may be a
thought to ignore this and hope it goes away, or blame the PAM policy.

My suggestions. 
1.  Someone needs to update the description to accurately reflect the nature of
this bug.
2.  This is irrelevant because the bug is that uninitiated authentication
should NEVER happen at all.  The greeter initiating PAM conversation on resume
is a bug that exists everywhere.  The fact that some distros put the faillock
threshold high, or don't have it at all, is irrelevant.

On a system with more than one user, where one or more of them don't have root
access, this can lock them out until they can contact a user with root access
or wait 10 minutes.  I understand this isn't a hyper critical bug, but sitting
for more than 2 years?  There has to be another reason why it hasn't been
picked up in that time other than triage.
