 When any user changes their password, the site's owner gets an email that
 currently just says:

 "Password Lost and Changed for user: [username]"

 It would help administrators if the email also included WordPress's
 assessment of the strength of the new one. I don't always agree with that
 assessment, but it is better than saying nothing.

 As it is, there's no way to know if the user has just picked an extremely
 weak password and thanks to the repeated user privilege escalation exploit
 issues, even low level users with weak passwords can put the whole site at
 risk.
