Bug description:
There's a login_protect plugin that I've once written, which tries to limit the number of login attempts (brute force attack).
I don't know what it does exactly (IIRC it displays a captcha after X failed attempts).

I'd like to enhance this so that the account gets locked after X failed attempts (in a certain time span) and an email to unlock the account gets sent to the user.
I've just seen this with Bugzilla (at mozilla.org).
