in case other people are interested in adding moderation to their
Google Groups.
PPS: I find it fascinating that Google increased the complexity of
their Groups management UI by a magnitude, while simultaneously
removing tons of useful functionality from Groups that I and others
actually relied on. Sigh.

Btw, your instructions didn't work for me. There is still the gear icon, but only "User Settings" were visible. I switched back to the old Google Groups interface and then switched back to the new interface and then I got a "Manage" button right next to the gear. FYI.

Click the "User Settings" menu, which should expand to show a number
of submenu items, including "New members", click that.
