...upon tests passing and the required # of approvals, thoughts?

I would like to do anything we can to improve the speed of PR reviews and merges but I'm hesitant. Bots don't know the difference between a maintainer approval and an approver approval, nor does it know the difference between a large-impact PR and a low-impact PR. We also have the repository setting set to 2 required reviews even though our actual policy is 3. This allows maintainers to merge PRs that are low-risk more quickly. If we enabled this bot, we would need to bump the repository setting to 3.

I also think the primary thing holding up most PRs is getting the appropriate number of reviews, not that reviewed PRs are waiting merge.

Makes sense, thanks!
