I don't think we need to worry about, or formalize, the mechanics of this. The
gist of it is that we need feedback in some form and we should encourage users
to provide that (and also provide visibility for these PRs) - the thumbs-up
reaction might be a lower bar to entry for those users who aren't comfortable
commenting on a high-profile Github project.

I do think having a threshold defined, even if arbitrary at first, can be
helpful for maintainers. Maybe we need to run with this for a while to see if
that's 5, 3, 25 or something else first though?
