1080: Provide a way to assign newly registered users to an authoirzation group

Currently I create a default authorization group that contains the
permissions that will allow a normal user to create a new request using the
command-line tool "post-review".

When a new user registers it would be nice to be able to configure that new
users are assigned to a default authorization group.

So, after reading this request again, I'm not sure why this initial group is necessary. Users don't need specific permissions or auth groups in order to use post-review. I actually can't think of a situation where you would need or really want to auto-assign to an auth group.

I had assumed that the permissions were used to assign all permissions (admin and normal user).  Based on your comment I would agree that this is not a necessary feature request.  Out of interest are the permissions used to check authorizations for administrative tasks?

There are a couple permissions used for this (especially the is_staff mark), but most of the included permissions are just internally generated by django and not used by the reviewboard code.
