 The current process for changing the admin email address in the General
 settings tab seems pretty sketchy to me.

 Currently:
 1. Change the email address.
 2. Confirmation email is sent to the NEW admin.
 3. New admin confirms
 4. Email sent to OLD admin to inform him or her it was done.

 It should be:
 1. Change the email address.
 2. Confirmation email sent to OLD admin to be sure it’s ok to change this
 very important information.
 3. Old admin confirms it’s ok (or freaks out and starts changing passwords
 because he or she did not initiate this process).
 4. Email is sent to NEW admin to accept the invite and to verify the
 address.
 5. NEW admin confirms address and accepts new responsibility.
 6. Email goes to old admin to let them know the process has been
 completed.
