CiviCRM Event, Feature Request. Expand the Require participant approval? feature to allow automatic approval based on contact being in one of specified list of Groups / Smart Groups

This is a feature request. It would be useful to expand the Require participant approval? feature for Events to allow automatic approval based on contact being in one of specified list of Groups / Smart Groups. Thus when someone registers, if they exist in any of the groups they are approved. If not, then their Participant Status is waiting for approval.

This feature would provide a more automated and intelligent approach for approving participants for an event, without requiring manual human intervention, as is the case currently.

Would require a documentation update, https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/events/online-event-registration/#participant-approval
