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.
> }}}

>
> {{{
> Receives system notifications from recovery mode, site health, automatic
updates, password resets, new user registrations, and when new sites are
created.
> }}}
>
> Thoughts?
