There are many ways to game a simple +1 counter, such as +1'ing changes
that already have at least 1x +2, or which already approved, or which need
rechecking...

One more possible (though also imperfect) mitigation is to make exception
from the usual 2x +2 rule for requirements updates passing gates and use
only 1x +2. Then requirements reviews will take substantially less time to
land, reducing need/possibility of having such +1's.
