Mapping web UI settings to REST API endpoints

Body

While trying to automate our repetitive tasks, I'm having some difficulties in finding the correct REST API endpoints for specific web UI functions. It would be nice if this was documented somewhere but until now I was unable to find anything like that.

For starters, I'm looking for the REST API endpoints and request parameters to manage several organization member privileges. Via the web UI those privileges are managed via https://github.com/organizations/{org}/settings/member_privileges. Most settings can be managed via the REST API at /orgs/{org}, but for the following web UI settings I was unable to locate the REST API endpoint:

• Allow repository administrators to invite outside collaborators to repositories for this organization
• Allow members to see comment author's profile name in private repositories
• Allow users with read access to create discussions
• Allow integration requests from outside collaborators
• Allow members to change repository visibilities for this organization
• Allow members to create teams
• Allow members to view dependency insights

And probably some more, but this shows my issue with the REST API documentation. Any pointers would be welcome, but most of all I would like it if these mappings were documented somewhere so everyone can easily find this information.
