Description
This issue has been migrated from [#4755](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4755).
---
We time out the /make_join request after 20 seconds, but then return a non-specific Internal Server Error.
I'm not sure what the right behaviour would be - maybe a 5xx with a better error code?
