Description

When setting the area for a group, it would be good to be able to set geographical boundaries, rather than just manual input. For example, selecting Maidstone Borough (http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2208739) as the area, rather than have to manually draw out the boundaries.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current group-area flow that accepts manually drawn boundaries, then inspect the linked OpenStreetMap relation for Maidstone Borough. Define how an external boundary can become a selectable group-area preset and verify that selecting the relation produces the intended geographical boundary.
