Creates a page where people can submit match requests between multiple sponsor options for the matcher. Users can submit as many duplicates as they think are right, immediately goes to a pr with an appended name and id for that person.

Example: someone added a middle initial to a name, so there exists both a "Richard P. Creagan" and "Richard Creagan" (HI), or 2 "Sonya Jaquez Lewis"s (CO) with different OS ids.

this seems really useful, but we'll need to figure out a few things on the backend before we can merge:

  • having two users with the same ID present in their additional IDs causes issues when we attempt to look up by ID, so we need to avoid that
  • the right thing to do here is to delete the less-used ID and alias it to the more used ID
  • that'd require us adding code for deletion, which isn't present yet

maybe next week we can sync on this a bit more to discuss options
