Description
### What
Consider adding a method to view and change the site administration email address to the Calypso view of **Settings > General** for Atomic sites.
### Why
Many plugins use the site administration email address for various reasons. For example, some contact form plugins send form responses to the site administration email address by default.
For various reasons, the site administration email address could differ from the customer's WordPress.com account email address. For example, this can happen if a site is migrated in to WordPress.com using a plugin.
For this reason, it would be useful if the site administration email address could be viewed and changed in the **Settings > General** section of Calypso. Currently, the only way to edit the site administration email address for Atomic sites is to switch to wp-admin view.
### How
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in Calypso's Settings > General view for Atomic sites and trace how the existing site administration email is represented and edited elsewhere. Done means the address can be viewed and changed there, with the updated value reflected for the site.
