### Background Currently, approval for codeowner sections can be made optional by prepending `^` to the section heading: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/code_owners.html#make-a-code-owners-section-optional The new feature for [requiring multiple approvals per CODEOWNER Section](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335451) works by appending `[n]` to the end of a section to require n reviewers. `n` must be `n ≥ 1` where `[1]` is optional as the default setting. Other values for `n` are invalid and the default setting `n = 1` will be applied. ### Problems * `^` isn't a very intuitive sign of the section being optional * Appending `[0]` for an optional review would be very intuitive * It is unclear what a section would do that has `^` prepended AND `[2]` appended ### Links This is issue is to follow-up on this [discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/335451#note_1205877316)
