well, I wasn't aware of such invitation concept.
In this case there should be some advise regarding that under
https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census, since ATM this page gives
the possibility to simply add a derivative to the wiki:

<quote>If you would like to add a new derivative to this page, please 
enter the short name of your derivative below, with no spaces. When you 
click "Add a new derivative", an editor will be loaded ... </quote>

So there should be added something like
<quote>New derivatives should only be added by persons from that
derivative itself, to ensure competent support from their side.
You can invite that persons to join the census with this 
<invitation link-to-invitation>.</quote>
