[Adminsysters] Asking for a project collab

[nate wessalowski]

* the protocol will be shared next week but just to avoid confusion: 
taking up a request means starting a collective process. so you'd first 
start by voicing your interest via our internal list and then checking 
if others want to join in (rather than replying solo to the request.)

greets! n
