Invites

We can invite users to the list.

So it may be relatively simple to create a form that creates an email with an invite.

e.g. form takes email input from page, and then populates request email as follows

So could be as crude as a google form that fills out a spreadsheet, and then either automatically creates invite request, or waits for a column to be filled in.

Unclear if this would violate riseup policy if it were fully automated.

Unclear if sending address needs to be list admin, or can be some other email that's been granted admin privileges.

Failed I tried using links and they either fail or require account creation:
