Description

### Let users request write access on repositories.

I have a simple concept in mind for v1, but I'm not sure if this feature is really necessary or makes sense in future versions. Is it even needed with forks? What is the use case? Are there benefits to contributing to same repo, as opposed to from another repo in the network?

#### Help build data community
One reason could be to build a team of contributors. It seems like groups of people that work on datasets tend to be small, and a lot of the work is done individually.

New repository setting ```[ ] accept user permission requests. ```
- Allows users to request write permissions on a repository they only have READ access on.
- Repository defaults to NOT accepting user permission requests.
- Admin can toggle to receive user permission requests
- Additional rules, for example, let users request write permissions after merging 3 pull requests into master
- Repository page could display `You can become a core contributor after merging 3 pull requests.`

Could be interesting with admin being able to bucket users into different teams
