At the last meeting we had a talk about implementing TLS/SSL in RIPE mail servers to avoid sniffing clear-text passwords in RIPE DB update requests.

Well, it was an action item on the RIPE NCC to evaluate what possible problems could come along with that (like "mail program XYZ has bugs that prevent sending to ESMTP senders with TLS"), and if nothing serious shows up, come up with an implementation plan... I'd say it's somewhat too soon to expect results yet.
