To piggyback on this -- this has been an idea we've been interested in as well. As part of our corporate policies, generally once a package has been approved (at a name level), all subsequent versions are OK assuming there's no vulnerabilities or license issues. Denying a request for this is very rare.
By automating version promotion, it would allow developers access to newer versions of packages sooner, making access easier and devs will be more likely to upgrade.
We thought about doing this by filters, but managing that list would quickly get out of hand.
This isn't a critical functionality for us today, more of a nice to have.
