Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 [attachment:35736.2.patch] is a refresh against trunk and also includes
 some coding standards cleanup for modified lines (whitespace).

 I full support these language changes; thanks @ramiy for your consistent
 push to improve WordPress core 'microcopy' - those little phrases
 scattered all over the interface have a big impact on users.

 I agree the phrasing should be consistent as an action, so 'Reset
 Password' makes more sense that 'Lost your password?'; my main concern is
 that there are likely many tutorials/instructions online telling users to
 click the 'Lost your password' link; if this patch is committed, it would
 be good to attempt to correct at least the top listings on how to reset
 your wp password with the new language.
