Even better: I just looked at their Deletion Request form, and it asks for your email address. Seems like they will be getting too much information from Reddit, and with a bunch of moderator user names, how far off is it to glean a bunch of passwords? Also, their Removal Request post states:
This forum is managed by the community. We are unable to make changes to the service, and we do not have any way to contact the owner, even when removal requests are delayed.
So, we're supposed to give personal information to some intern or mod via an unsecure Google Docs form, and they then pass the message to the people behind PushShift? Why so many steps?
Edit: misspelled word.

Aside from u/pushshift-support and u/stuck_in_the_matrix the rest of the mods have no interaction or ability to do anything with PushShift as a service or the NCRI. That’s why that post is worded that way. We also didn’t come up with that removal form. We can’t see anything that’s put in there.

I don’t think you understand what this subreddit is… it’s not official, that’s all that quoted thing is saying. The owner (or the company, whatever) comes and does as they like, and often has weeks of radio silence. And the moderation team has no way to contact them if/when that happens.
As for the rest of your comment… your email has already been leaked, it’s all over the internet. If your password is so incredibly insecure that knowing your Reddit username is enough to guess it, you were doomed to begin with.
