Comment:

 Well, you don't necessarily need a new action. You could have just
 customized the login URL.

 But after going over it a bit more, changing anything here might be more
 work than it's worth, involve way too many edge cases and potentially
 breaking 3rd party code.

 1. The same issue applies to the registration form which also has the
 registraion URL hardcoded.
 2. If you just filter site_url and network_site_url and replace wp-
 login.php there it should achieve customizing the login URL just as well.
 3. If we change the action URL for registration and lost password we would
 still be using site_url() in other places and things won't be uniform
 anymore.

 So unless anyone else thinks there's something worth pursuing here I guess
 this ticket can be closed. I wanted a core contribution 😁 but this isn't
 something that needs any fix.
