Summary:  Disable requests for inclusion

Original Submission:  Hello,

I'd like to disable the feature "Request for Inclusion" against my project 
(GRUB). Is this possible?

In my experience, this feature is not very useful but rather annoying. Most 
people who did this request to GRUB were always very ambiguous about what they 
wanted to do. As far as I see, they even don't understand what "Request for 
Inclusion" is.

Since inclusion gives them write permission to the CVS, I cannot accept their 
requests unless I know them very well. And, if I know them well, they normally 
don't have to send any request from the web interface, because we talk in a 
different place (such as IRC) so I know who should be included in my project.

It might be better to show a message instead of just disabling it. For example, 
I'd like to display this kind of message when a user tries to be included in 
our project:

Thank you for your interest on our project. Please subscribe to the mailing 
list address@hidden for discussion. You can get other useful information from 
blah blah...

Okuji

-----

I guess this can be done by setting a flag in the 'groups', so the project is 
displayed somewhat differently and unselectable in the RFI interface. Handling 
a custom text could be done by clicking on the project name in the RFI 
interface; it could be stored and edited just like the project description.
