Dear module authors, maintainers and contributors,

I would like to bring your attention to:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24288

The idea is to add a `passwordFile` option for every `password` option so
that users have a choice other than storing secrets inside the
world-readable Nix store.

What do you think about the proposal?

If you agree and want to contribute, please mention in the issue which
module you want to take on. That way we can coordinate the effort.

Happy hacking,

Bas
