Bogus password reminders -- remove my account

Hi there

Your pear.php.net website has started spontaneously sending me password
reminders every day or two for my bug #2100. I have not logged in to the
website for years.

The email text is "The password for PEAR bug report #2100 is [password
removed]".

Your website clearly violates sound website design principles in that it
stores passwords un-hashed and sends them out to users as plaintext, so
I would consider this to be a pretty serious problem, given the habits
of most internet users when it comes to choice of passwords.

Please remove my password from your system and disable my account,
and/or remove my account or whatever it is that is recording this password.

Cheers
JP
