In the subscription confirmation emails, the password is set to the users.
These mails are not encrypted, which will provide both the activation code
and the password of the new users.

This can be fixed by hardcoding the password (XXXXXX) in the mail.

This security issue has no implication on the system, only on the data
handled by Pootle.
