Create a feature request in the issue tracker [1], describe your hook
wish and an use-case where and how you will use it. If you can already
implement the hook in the core, go ahead and file push this change via
GIT to our Gerrit Reviewing system [2]. Check this Git Page [3] for more
information and step-by-step walk-throughs.

In this particular case, I think it makes sense. Think about the
"openid" sys-extension, which also needs to manipulate the login form,
which currently is done directly by the core (and not the extension).
Your hook solution should also solve this issue, if possible, so that we
have a generic "login-form-changing" methodology.

Cheers,
Ernesto
