Comment:

 Sounds like a worthy addition to me.

 My thought is:
  * Include a user meta array of password reset times
  * Before sending a reset request,
   * check the timestamps, any older than a day can get dumped
   * If count > 5? then don't send email.
  * Upon password change, clear the reset time meta.

 This does sound like a problem which would only affect a small portion of
 the WordPress userbase, but it's an annoying effect for those who run
 higher profile sites I'd assume.
