Thanks, this sounds reasonable.

The only problem I see is sending the new password in an unencrypted
email. Shouldn't be a big risk, I suppose. Otherwise, we could extend
the user account so that everyone can deposit his public key, and enable
this password reset functionality only for people who have done so.

Cheers,
