Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 [attachment:34281.diff] is a first pass. Notes:

 * Built off of code provided by @Ipstenu - thanks!
 * I'm leveraging the existing `retrieve_password` function to avoid
 duplicating code and allow existing password reset hooks to work as
 expected. To accomplish this I moved the function from wp-login.php to wp-
 includes/functions.php - otherwise the function is not available in this
 context. Feedback appreciated.

 Things that would be nice to add:
 * The ability to trigger password resets as a bulk action from the user
 list screen.
 * Extending `retrieve_password` to accept a user_login argument.
 Currently, I'm setting up `$_POST['user_login']` because thats what the
 function expects. That feels wrong, it would be cleaner if I could pass
 the user_login to the function directly.
 * Unit tests.

 Would appreciate feedback on the UI as well, especially the success (or
 error) message inserted.
