I would like to force new collaborators to watch the particular repository.
It can be done either as an option in app.ini or I could do it myself by custom webhook (but AFAIK nothing is fired when new collaborator is added)

Can this be used to send SPAM? I guess it's no different from org teams, however...

I see, that I need to clarify few things.
I'm against preventing someone from stopping watching a repository. My proposal is only that the new collaborator could have "watch" enabled by default and and still keep a possibility to "unwatch" at any time. SPAM could be a huge problem, but this approach allow easily stop it.
And, of course, this option will be off by default in config and will require the administrator to turn it on intentionally.

In case of our team, we manage to collaborate without using org teams, which are great tool, but not required for each case.

I'm open to another opinion, of course.

If it's off by default and the config docs come with a warning notice, then it should be OK.
