From looking at the patch, actually it doesn't look like it relates
to password synchronization, just ties in to some an account
management system for unspecified purposes. The code seems to have
about two lines of comments as to the purpose of these calls (at a
higher level than "send a line to the server").
(There is some password-synchronization code that lxs integrated a
few years ago for Apple, which at this point probably would also be
best made into a plugin, but that's another matter...)
