Please show local consensus for this change. Also I believe we have the functionality of this extension in core as of 1.18.
I do not think that resetting a local password would work (or even make sense) for SULed accounts. It would only make sense for global accounts and should be assigned to stewards, but I do not see it among global userrights.
WONTFIX. It's been one month since a request for consensus for this change. Also users can already reset their own passwords when they have valid email accounts setup in their account. I don't think our policy (for when the devs do it) supports resetting the passwords when they can't prove their identity (email is generally the perfered method).
(Please feel free to reopen this bug, when you provide a link to the local consensus)
