Research direction
Start by tracing mergebot's "unreviewed" handling for unblessed PRs and the shared notification path described in the report. Compare PRs with owner approval that still await DT maintainer approval, then define separate handling so reviewed PRs no longer notify every package owner; confirm the board visibility and notification behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
For PRs that require maintainer approval, owner approval does not prevent mergebot from marking a PR as "unreviewed" if still waiting on a DT maintainer.
This isn't the end of the world from the perspective of visibility on the DT board, but the notification logic is the same, and comments a notification to every package owner despite the PR already having been reviewed. This is an annoyance for critical package maintainers, and confusing for contributors.
It'd be an improvement if this scenario were handled separately.
