Do realize that setting is part of requiring a review for pull requests:
https://help.github.com/articles/enabling-required-reviews-for-pull-requests/.
So in order to get this we would require all PRs, core dev or not, to
receive an approving review from another core developer (I don't think an
approving review from just anyone counts towards the minimum approval).
There might be around this, but it will require some testing to make sure
(see
https://github.com/python/core-workflow/issues/94#issuecomment-316224864).
