1080836 - Add group membership parameter to /users endpoint

Status: NEW

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

Let's add a parameter to the /users endpoint that can answer this question:
- Is [e-mail] a member of the 'NDA' group on mozillians.org? Yes
or No 

Both an email address and a group name must be provided. Returns true/false.

This allows the owners of API apps to create and manage groups for any access they want to provide. Their app will then provide an email address and a group name to check if the email address belongs to a person in the group. More context is shared in this post:

This seems like an API which could be considered for a people.mozilla.org.
