Comment:

 This looks good. The `retrieve_password()` function needs some work
 though. If you diff it with the current one in wp-login.php some of the
 recent changes have been lost, for example the docs updates, the IP
 address message, the lowercase ERROR strings, and the
 `lostpassword_errors` filter. Might be some more, I didn't check too
 thoroughly.

 Also it will need a `@since` entry for the new parameter, and probably
 also one to mention that prior to 5.7.0 it only existed in wp-login.php.

 My only concern about the functionality itself is whether the "Send
 password reset" link is needed on the Users list table. It adds a lot of
 visual noise. Is this action common enough to warrant that link?
