Comment (by smerriman):

 The above patch changes the default values for
 `$send_password_change_email` and `$send_email_change_email` to false for
 administrators.

 As described above, there is not a single benefit, security or otherwise,
 to sending such emails when it is an administrator instigating the change,
 while there are certainly downsides.
