Research direction

Start by reading collections-index.yml, the linked pull requests #159 and #226, and the referenced Issue Forms examples. Determine whether a form-based workflow can replace the manual comments and make adding a collection possible through a new issue rather than a fork and pull request; done means the maintainers have an agreed, maintainable design.
