   I would like to change
   'label_username' => __( 'Username' ) on line 258 of wp-includes/general-template.php
   to
   'label_username' => __( 'Username or Email' )

   Changing core files is not recommended

   Any help to code a function to achieve this would really be appreciated.

   This works

   function wpse60605_change_username_label( $defaults ){
       $defaults['label_username'] = __( 'Username or Email' );
       return $defaults;
   }
   add_filter( 'login_form_defaults', 'wpse60605_change_username_label' );
