I doubt that it will ever be in the base, since the chances of me
having commit privileges are very very small. :) Besides, I'd much
rather see a system that includes stuff from the ports rather than
adding more bloat to the base, even if I happen to feel that it's useful
bloat.

I will put this option on the list, the problem is that a system like
this will generate a lot of "warnings" for files that really do belong,
and I'd hate for people to delete something they shouldn't. :-/

I considered this, but what exactly do you want it to do? There are
good arguments for several different courses of action, and frankly I
couldn't decide which to do. Also, I felt that there were some files
that warranted individual attention, and the password files fall into
that category. I do welcome suggestions though.
