All of these steps say "ask an admin". Is this document describing the current invite-only process, or the future fully public process? I think if it is the current invite-only process, it should be an onboarding guide for admins (to onboard a new member, send invites in the following systems: ...) In fact, a contributor won't even see this document before they are invited to the organization.

This is about the current process -- although, I'd also recommend against making assumptions about how a future process may differ.
Regarding the rest, I actually view CONTRIBUTING.md as a bit of a "getting started" guide. It instructs people to sign the CLA, agree to the code of conduct, etc. In that sense, I think as long as this section isn't too long (which, rendered, I don't think it adds much) then it's fine here.
Also, forums have 19 people, discord has 21, GitHub has 27. The invites still require people to take some action, so this stands as a reminder for how to get access too.
