Sorry, but I do not quite understand the flow of your logic here, especially, how "but then I also realized" trumps "signing off a patch is a conscious act---it would weaken the legal meaning if you automate it", which was why we deliberately avoided adding this configuration variable for the last 10+ years. So, I dunno.
