Waive CODEOWNER approval for authors that are CODEOWNERS

I’m sure this has been asked before, but I could not find any existing thread:
Is the following functionality possible or configurable (we are on Premium):

  • Don’t require CODEOWNER approval for authors that are CODEOWNERS? We have a mono repo with some packages covered by CODEOWNER rules. You need CODEOWNERS approval for an MR, even if you yourself are a code owner of the affected paths. We don’t necessarily want authors to self approve MRs.
  • Is it possible to set up rules, so that approvers could approve for CODEOWNERShip only?
