Problem and impact

When adding a Submission from the orga interface, speaker email addresses without an existing account are silently ignored.

Of course, unknown addresses do not generate any search suggestions. This leaves the email input field as-is, containing the plain email address. Because of the way the field is constructed, with the combobox and dropdown, this results in the email field containing an empty string upon form submission.

The Submission is created without any speakers and no invite mail gets generated.

Presumably, something similar should happen as when adding speakers to an existing Submssion, where new email addresses create a choices__button within the field.

Expected behaviour

A new User gets created with an empty SpeakerProfile and an invite mail gets generated.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to /orga/event/<event>/submissions/new
2. Fill out the form as required
3. In the "Speaker email" field, enter an address currently not associated with any user (strictly speaking, not associated with any user having a SpeakerProfile that the current orga user is allowed to access)
4. Submit the form
5. The submission gets created without any speakers
