@miketheman pointed out that users can be confused by the behavior/language of "pending" publishers: we should make both the docs and the form (more) explicit about the fact that a "pending" publisher does not reserve the to-be-created name, and that another user may invalidate the "pending" publisher by creating the project first.
(This is already made clear by the emails we send on pending publisher invalidation, but we can further clarify it.)
Writing this up for myself.
