--- Comment #1 from T. Gries <[email protected]> 2011-05-25 07:01:55 UTC ---
Update:

introduce also a new permission "isallowed-to-reset-other-user-password" to
make it fine-grained configurable. When the permission is not given, the
function shall work as described in comment #1 (input box for Username shows
the own Username, but this field being readonly. Value checked on return. The
only action the user can perform is to send a temporary password to their own
e-mail address.

Status quo: 
$wgGroupPermissions["*"]["isallowed-to-reset-other-user-password"] = true;

this bug/proposal proposes:
$wgGroupPermissions["*"]["isallowed-to-reset-other-user-password"] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions["user"]["isallowed-to-reset-other-user-password"] = false;

This is a case where a "user" has less rights than a non-user, but I explained
above why it makes sense in my view.
