Description

Make a new maintainer add workflow. It shouldn't be possible to add another user as a maintainer without approval -- similar to all of the GitHub repos that were used to harass other users a few years ago. Adding a maintainer should act as an invite, and only on approval we should add the maintainer.

So, we'd need invite views, accept views, list of invites views, etc.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing maintainer-add flow and map the required invite, acceptance, and invite-list views; done means adding a maintainer requires approval before the user is granted maintainer status.
