Extend custom notification "Added as approver" feature to groups

Background
In 16.7 we added a new custom notification event "Added as approver", this was discussed extensively in Optional Merge Request notifications for approvers and was later added with Added approver notification setting.
This is good that individual approvers will get notified starting GitLab version 16.7 however I believe it's not easy to manage users individually in repo's rather editing a user in a group is much more streamlined solution and would be beneficial if GitLab can look into it.
Problem to Solve
The option for a notification when added as an approver can only be set on a users individual global notification level OR on the project level. This means it's not possible to set the option to be notified for this for only certain groups.
Proposal
The option to be notified when added as an approver should be added to the custom configuration option when configuring the notification level on a group.
