I think that if a user isn’t on the site when they are added to a group, it would be worth sending them an email.

With the way things currently work, group owners can reply to the user’s membership request to let them know that they have been added to the group. This will create a PM notification, and send an email to the user if they are not on the site. The user who has been added to the group will not see the “handle membership request” link that the group owner sees in the PM.

PM that the group owner sees:

PM that the added user sees:
