As recently reported (I think) I did write a script for password
reset. It's not exposed on the web, but is available as a script
to those having root access to the "web" machine. Feel free to
ticket that one if not already ticketed (web based reset).

How to prevent gathering of mass email addresses would be another
thing to keep in mind for _this_ specific ticket. But why are
we talking on the list rather than in the ticket ? Simpler to reply ?
We may want to add setup email2trac
