### Problem to solve Merging in very sensitive files. ### Intended users This feature would most likely be used by the Project Managers. ### Further details It would be a feature extension. There is the feature of "Approvals", where certain people have to approve the merge request of a developer. At the moment there is no possibility of adding an approval on certain areas only or even files. ### Proposal A nice extension would be, that Project Managers could select certain folders/files which require an approval before it is merged in. It would also be needed to select on which branch this shall happen, for example only if a certain file in dev gets a merge request, require an approval. ### Permissions and Security Only the Maintainer of the Repository should be able to add/edit this. ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? A Maintainer adds an approval in the directory backend/src/permissions and only in the source branch 'dev'. Now, if a developer has made changes in backend/src/permissions folder and creates a merge request into dev, it should require an approval but only if the changes are made in the permissions folder.
