How could I add users to the developers table in Discourse’s database? (Specifically, what data goes where?) I’m wanting to be able to add developer users without restarting Discourse’s Docker container.

It is controlled by the `developer_emails` global setting, the `developers` table or the `DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS` Docker env var.
