This one is fixed in 0.6.

One possibility: Version 0.5 created the Member role, but did not create any
permissions for it. Version 0.6 creates all three roles and sets up
permissions just like the Portal.py file.

This shouldn't be too difficult. To be completely functional, this probably
would need a Catalog, so that you can search by email address... but, making
a couple forms to change a user with a known user name should be quite easy.
