Comment:
When submitting an issue like this, you should check why the code was
added. In this case, your proposal is to revert a security patch:
In 8c35a0a903fd979e3262fe300ca084ffbfb300d6:
> Fixed CVE-2024-45231 -- Avoided server error on password reset when
email sending fails.
>
> On successful submission of a password reset request, an email is sent
to the accounts known to the system. If sending this email fails (due to
email backend misconfiguration, service provider outage, network issues,
etc.), an attacker might exploit this by detecting which password
resetrequests succeed and which ones generate a 500 error response.
