In line with almost everything else here, I don't think we should prescribe the specific form of approval a request needs. In practice, it's usually just been sorted out at BON following community discussion and a BAG's conclusion

Everything kind of got superseded by the general guideline of ~20 EPM. Are there even "urgent" bots anymore? I don't seen any consensus for 40 EPM anywhere.

The issue is that people arrive at this section via shortcut, and the section title strongly implies that the only material here that pertains to human editors is in this section, which is not the case.
