 We proclaim that anyone can run a bug scrub or organize a component
 meeting, but that's not entirely accurate because `@here` pings are
 managed by a custom script that require the person to be on an allow list.

 Receiving the ability to announce requires a contributor to show a track
 record of reliability and dependability. This standard is applied pretty
 liberally, but adding someone to the list relies on a Meta commit. Not
 having the ability to ping the room can limit the effectiveness of a given
 scrub or meeting. The contributor will have to ask around and hope that
 someone with `@here` capabilities will be around at the same time.

 It would be great if there were a checkbox on meetings entered into .org
 to send a `@here` ping when the meeting is supposed to start. This would
 not only solve the issue where someone  without announce privileges is
 running the meeting. But is also helpful for situations where those
 running the meeting loses track of time, and prevents misunderstandings
 caused by timezone or Day Light Savings Time changes.
