Comment (by bridgetwillard):

 I think this is an excellent idea!

 We build sites and hand them over, but not every client wants to be in
 charge.

 I'd love for there to be a note about installing and configuring SMTP to
 speed up the delivery of site emails. That may be out of scope for this
 ticket.


 Replying to [comment:22 johnjamesjacoby]:
 > The phrase "This address is used for admin purposes" has some redundancy
 now that it is adjacent to a label that says "Administration Email
 Address", which has me thinking it could be replaced completely with
 something more like one of @Ipstenu's original ideas of being more
 descriptive & intentional...
 >
 > For the single-site site-level `admin_email` setting:
 >
 > {{{
 > Receives system notifications from recovery mode, site health, automatic
 updates, password resets, and new user registrations.
 > }}}
 >
 > And then `if_multisite()` we'd change it to...
 >
 > {{{
 > Receives system notifications for this site, and used when sending
 password reset emails to users of this site.
 > }}}
 >
 > ...and then the network-level `admin_email` setting would say:
 >
 > {{{
 > Receives system notifications from recovery mode, site health, automatic
 updates, password resets, new user registrations, and when new sites are
 created.
 > }}}
 >
 > Thoughts?
