Hash passwords in sabnzbd.ini

I notice while moving my config from one machine to another that the nntp server password was stored unhashed. Would it be possible to implement some sort of hashing so that the password doesn't appear in cleartext in the ini file?

How to unshash it? It would have to be with some hardcoded decryption in the code that anyone then could also use to decrypt it themselves.

But maybe a better question would be why the ini would fall in the wrong hands?
