We have already relaxed the approval requirement a bit and also accept
stubs when the submitter has not received a response within a month.
That said, I would personally prefer to swap the approval requirement to
an information requirement. This gives package maintainers the chance to
react to a submission and give their feedback, but will lower the bar
for inclusion.

I'm supportive of making a change like this, so we can ensure the barrier for new contributors to typeshed is as low as possible.

OK,  make a PR that updates PEP 484 to change the requirement into information only, and I'll get the SC to approve it.
