Hi folks,

To avoid spam/flood, the Slack invite link we create is only valid for 30
days (that's a "protection" from Slack).

It means that we should update the website every month to update the invite.

Some Apache projects (like Apache Pinot) are using Community Inviter:

https://communityinviter.com/

Here's the example for Apache Pinot:
https://communityinviter.com/apps/apache-pinot/apache-pinot

The principal is that we register an "admin" email address (basically the
PMC/private mailing list).
People can ask for the invite on communityinviter and then the PMC
approve/decline the request.

No need to update the Slack invite directly on the website anymore, the
communityinviter link is always valid (and moderated).

Thoughts ?

PS: for the Iceberg community member, Iceberg Slack has exactly the same
"issue". I would be happy to propose the same approach to the Iceberg
community.

Regards
JB
