Auto approving is the wrong approach except in the case where the patch is
small, even then questionable. Maybe a system where you can trade reviews
for patches. Like if you want a patch to be reviewed and you make a promise
to also do another patch for the review. Yes this might not always work
but it might help the current situation.
