Martin Dengler added the comment:

Anecdotal ( http://stackoverflow.com/a/12675195/2747741 ) evidence suggests 
other programs do indeed accept spaces, and a cursory browsing of the Perl 
source code ( 
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/cpan/libnet/lib/Net/Netrc.pm#l120 
) indicates Perl at least supports (escaped) spaces in .netrc passwords.

Is there anything that I could do to make the patch I provided acceptable?

If not, could the bug be reopened as 1) the bug description mentions a valid 
use case that is not handled by the netrc module; and 2) there is precedent for 
this use case's implementation in other software.
