Christoph,
I think it would be easy to code, and there isn't really constraint about a
programming/scripting language. The problem is "requirements". The user wants
to have seamless connection to share using their login password (I assume from
the various bug reports). The definition in software of such requirements seems
at first obvious, but from a usability/ergonomics perspective it is a really
difficult one. Once this can be defined, the implementation is fairly straight
forward.
Speaking of software requirements definition, where do we add the
functionality? Is it transparent to the user/administrator (meaning once
the user login password is set, the Samba one is set automatically
accordingly)? Or does each user will have to choose one using a
dedicated GUI? etc.
If you want to help, you could write a specification for it, either in the wiki
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/) and/or in launchpad (here on this site) as a
blueprint (if you cannot identify the component on which you write the
blueprint, choose Ubuntu).
I'm sending you below an example of a typical specification:
- the blueprint entry:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dell-backlight-support
- which points to a wiki article: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBacklight
Once you have a draft, you could propose it for review. :-) Perhaps,
people could bring ideas too and enhance it. If you look at other
specification, some do not even propose software ones, but are just
trying to properly define the user need. Those are proposed and then
other person can try to create a software specification out of this. So
if you feel already just like defining the user needs, that would be
great. Perhaps, you could use the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/) to
start a poll/investigation/discussion about what the users want.

When setting up a simple file share you are unable to access the share from a
Windows machine, while the samba server has no password set.
