 Replying to [comment:28 joostdevalk]:
 > While the addition to robots.txt blocks the crawler from opening the
 URL, a URL that cannot be opened CAN still be listed in the index if
 Google finds enough links pointing to it, see the note on this Google help
 page.

 Thus, in addition I would suggest to add the attribute
 {{{rel="nofollow"}}} to all wp-login.php links to reduce the number of
 links pointing to the file as well as for performance/traffic reasons
 until #14348 has been fixed. The attached patch adopts the functions
 {{{wp_register}}} and {{{wp_loginout}}}.
