[GitHub Request] Allow maintainers to bypsss "Require status checks to pass" for OpenSearch-Dashboards

What is the type of request?

Settings Update

Details of the request

This is the same request as https://github.com/opensearch-project/.github/issues/348, creating a new issue since I cannot reopen the old one.

Our ask was

1. Enable "Require status checks to pass" for GitHub Actions starting with Build and Verify, Run cypress tests, and Lint and validate. The target branch is main and the version branches.
2. Maintainers should be in the "Bypass list" if not already added.

Item 1 appears to be completed.

For item 2, as part of the testing guide, we agreed that maintainers should be able to override the failed actions

The workflow action should pass before PR is merged, unless maintainers override them with a comment.

Maintainer permission is defined as
https://github.com/opensearch-project/.github/blob/bb5391aa8ea54e49457c379c8357184acbca520d/RESPONSIBILITIES.md#L38

But right now I'm a maintainer, I should have maintain-level permission, yet I'm not able to override failed actions.

Is it possible to add maintain level permission to the bypass list as mentioned in item 2? This is what it should look like

If it's not possible, please explain a bit with supporting references. Thanks!

Thanks!

Start with the prior request in .github issue 348, the TESTING.md section on maintainers overriding failed actions, and the maintainer definition in RESPONSIBILITIES.md. Check whether maintain-level permission can be added to the bypass list for the main and version branches; done means the bypass is configured or the limitation is documented with supporting references.
