Strange. When I searched on "plymouth linux" the first two hits I got
were the Arch Linux and
Freedesktop.org pages on Plymouth which seem to
answer the questions you are asking. The Arch Linux page describes
where to find the configuration files, what options can be put into
them, and how to toggle Plymouth on and off using kernel options.
Plymouth is part of
Freedesktop.org and their page lists a mailing list,
IRC channel and documentation links. I'd expect you could use those to
get any information you needed.
