"rename right-passwordreset to right-passwordreset-emailsent-capture-view"

Hello,

_/I want to propose a slight change in/_
*
Special:PasswordReset
*
similar to what I proposed last year in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/95596
which was then reverted in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/95618
because the change was not properly justified and discussed last year.


I now suggest these changes:

1. includes/specials/SpecialPasswordReset.php

class SpecialPasswordReset extends FormSpecialPage {
public function __construct() {
- parent::__construct( 'PasswordReset' );
+ parent::__construct( 'PasswordReset', *'special-passwordreset-access'* );
}


Because we already have "passwordreset" (right to view the password
reset mail when it was sent to user)
in order to avoid confusion I choose special-passwordreset-access
(this should be renamed as suggested in bug35121, not topic of this mail)

2. includes/DefaultSettings.php:

+ *$wgGroupPermissions['*']['**special-passwordreset-access**'] = true;*

3. languages/MessagesEn.php:

'right-passwordreset'         => 'View password reset e-mails',
+ *'right-special-passwordreset-access**' => 'Can access
Special:PasswordReset',
*

Is it possible to reach a consensus about the new right so I can submit
such a change to core ?
I'll be available in #mediawiki now.
