Maybe a repository for those kind of things wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't clutter the distribution.
Also, imo your patch assumes too much to be "generic" - not every mailserver is SQL based or has an SQL api.
If you don't have an SQL api, just change the code in password.inc tu use your provider's api :-)
But I totally agree the feature is important - the need for a plugin API is getting bigger and bigger. ;-)
Yes, and _documentation_ about it !
