We made the decision to "just add" existing site members to groups, rather then
invite them to join, because existing site members already have some kind of
trust relationship with the site administrator, who would usually only delegate
group administration to someone trusted.
We know that this is able to be abused, or that mistakes could result in people
being added to groups that they don't want to be in, but we judge that this
risk is minor. The impact of this is also relatively low, as it is not that
hard to leave a group.
We could use the same invitation process with site members that we use with new
members, but that would make extra work for the existing site members.
