After a lot of searching I suddenly bumped into this discussion:

> [@Configuring incoming email to create new topics or group messages](https://meta.discourse.org/t/start-a-new-topic-via-email-e-mail/62977):
>
> bookmark This guide explains how to set up incoming emails to create new topics or group messages in Discourse, including configuration of site settings and category or group-specific settings. person_raising_hand Required user level: Administrator This guide covers: Enabling and configuring incoming emails Choosing between category and group for incoming emails Setting up incoming emails for a group Setting up incoming emails for a category Deciding how forwarded emails are handled …

which mentions “staged users” (nonmembers) and most other things I was looking for.

Would this be the correct match for my process? There seems to be some confusion in the referenced discussion on how to configure this beast. Is this a supported feature? Is there more documentation relating to it?

(FWIW it would be very helpful with something resembling a normal documentation ToC that links to relevant articles for each feature group so one could find and read appropriate documentation “linearly” without the guesswork of trying out different search terms on the support forum)
