Invite existing users by selecting from a list?

Problem/Motivation

I would like to make a list of users (views) and then from that list be able to
pick users for invitation to my group?
Or is this already possible?
Group admins does not usually know the users email addresses, so for those users
who have already registered on the site, it could be good to be able to pick the users for invitation.

Could this be done using query string?
/group/58/content/add/group_invitation?inviteuser=user_id

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    As a workaround, it is possible to hide "Invitee email" field and make "Invitee" field visible. Using autocomplete feature it is possible to create group content (invitation) for the given user.

    I'm definitely interested in this, since I need it for a project I'm working on right now. I need to install ginvite, play around a bit and dive into the code, but I hope to have something to share here in the next week or so.

    @dww try the solution in the previous comment, we already have entity reference field to users, you just need to expose this field on the form and hide the email field. The result will be the same basically
