All "developers" are listed as able to grant (optional) approvals -- approval from codeowners/integrators is still needed regardless of those optional approvals. We should perhaps remove that because I don't know a way to have some able to approve without the notification problem you mention below. Unfortunately, I think that reduces incentive to review, and we're always stressed for reviewing resources.
