Expected behavior

What are you expecting to happen?

Since a planet is supposed to be feed with feeds, users should be able to contact the planet admin to suggest its own feed.

Otherwise a planet is almost useless.

It's a blocker for me.

It could be a real Contact page but we can imagine something simpler :
We can suppose that the planet admin has its own blog, therefore Moonmoon could just display a link to the Contact page on the admin own blog

Actual behavior

What happens instead?

There is NO way for an user to contact the planet admin to suggest its own feed

Steps to reproduce

Go to a planet (for instance : https://rss.planete-sf.com/) and try to find a way to reach its admin

Moonmoon version

Which version of moonmoon are you using?
Moonmoon 9.0.0-rc3

A feature like "Suggest an RSS feed" makes a lot of sense. The suggested feed could be added to the existing feeds list with a "pending approval" status.
For me there are two main concerns about the idea:
1 - Emails should be send to the admin and the submitter for submission acknowledgement, and approval or rejection (with optional reason) notifications. That means probably some kind of mailing library should be packaged with moonmoon. Good old PHPMailer? Is that too much?
2 - The submission form must be protected with some kind of captcha mechanism, ideally an open solution, and more ideally not requiring JS. I don't have anything in mind right now.
I could contribute something like that if we make progress on this discussion.
@mauricesvay are you active enough to discuss? Thanks a lot :-)

Also it would be nice to get the candidate e-mail here : in the case of a Planet with a policy (which is a frequent use case I think), moderator may have to ask some more information or some changes to fit the guidelines.

Thank both of you for your interest :)

Would just a custom free-form text field (configurable from config.yml) under the list of feeds be enough?

There you may put the link to a blog, a social network account, an email, a form, another custom page, anything to reach the admin.

It's not as powerful as above discussed solutions, but it may be good enough for a quick win?
