Comment (by nikolov.tmw):

 Maybe introduce a filter for the amount of requests that are allowed? So
 instead of :

 `$user_pass_requests['count'] >= 5`

 have

 `$user_pass_requests['count'] >= intval( apply_filters(
 'max_resetpass_requests', 5, $user_data ) )`

 The same can also apply for the timeframe. This way for instance plugins
 can say - allow only 1 reset password request every 1 week. It would also
 allow(since we're passing $user_data as a second argument in the filter)
 specific users/user roles to have different settings(so maybe it would be
 less attempts for admins and more attempts for subscribers).
