If someone asks for a password reset then it can be done only if they originally signed up with a valid email address to a mailbox that they can access. So,

The server admin (those who have access to the database) check this. They will assign the request to themselves and email something like this:
:<code>Hi, someone requested a password reset for the stendhal account XXX. This is the email address registered for that account.</code>

'''Communication is very important between admin'''. For example, if you deal with a support question in person because you are there already then please send a quick message to /support so that the other admin know that they don't have to deal with it. It's only a little frustrating if you saw a support message on IRC so you login only to discover it's already all fixed. Likewise if there is an issue which needs a decision from other admin, you need to tell the other admin about the issue. Preferably tell them before the issue is raised again so there is time for discussion.
