GitLab : Add Default Approvers Picking from a file

Question

I'm new to the GitLab and currently playing with the community edition. I need to add a default approver per product, together with the user picked person.

I'm thinking of keeping the default account(s) in a repository-hosted yaml file. And I found this comment which is much similar to my case:

Can someone guide me to start:

• Is this doable with Merge request hook?
• Or need to build a GitLab plugin?
