Investigate using hubot as a welcomebot #5

Reticketed from edgi-govdata-archiving/overview#125

It might end up being simpler to just let the other one-trick-pony bot handle this, as slack is a little special with knowing who's new, and it might be better to use a bot that's specifically built for that purpose. (Hubot is designed to work with lots and lots of chat platforms.)

(some bots greet publicly. while this might be interesting, it's not what we want right now)

Other possibilities:

https://github.com/ladisays/welcome-bot/blob/master/scripts/welcome.js (hubot script)
https://github.com/slugbay/slack-welcome-bot
https://blog.codecorps.org/building-a-low-cost-slack-welcome-bot-with-zapier/ (can be DM, but config would be attached to personal account, and so a little bit opaque)
