@tobiaseigen some stuff here gets very complex.

The change of allowing `site_contact_username` to be a group has one very complex scope to it that makes this a no go.

At the end of the day a `group` can easily get all the notifications for a message (by being in topic allowed groups), but the message has still to originate from an actual user.

I think to solve the OP here we should simply add `site_contact_group_name` if that is specified the `site contact` emails should all also go to the group. It is a trivial change with no new UX.

I don’t want to allow `site contact username` to be a group cause then we need to send the messages from an account, `system` is not a good fit, random user from group is not a good fit. So you should be allowed to choose here.
