My opinion is that PIN is the only thing that NetworkManager should attempt to unlock, and that may already be a bit too much as well. NetworkManager should not need to handle every possible thing that may happen to modems, NetworkManager should have settings to "connect the modem" and well, we can consider PIN as part of the connection settings even if it's much much more (i.e. a SIM-PIN locked modem doesn't even register in the network). I'm not sure I like much the idea of letting NM attempt SIM-PUK unlocks (using what new PIN, btw?) as part of the settings to "connect the modem". A better place to handle SIM-PIN locked status where SIM-PUK is requested could be the "System settings" application, applicable to the modem devices, or even gnome-shell triggered unlock dialogs (as we did have with network-manager-applet in the GNOME2 days). I planned to work on that myself some years ago, and I even talked to Allan Day about how to handle that, but then totally forgot about it...
