[Rust-VMM] Project gate keeping

[Florescu, Andreea]

Hey Paolo,

Two reviews from code owners sounds good to me as well.
We should make sure that repositories being crated have code owners.

Regards,
Andreea

My fear is that the second review will, more often than not, be a
"drive-by" review where X gave a positive review so Y just clicks
approve and merge---especially if the second review has to be from a
gatekeeper that may not be that much in touch with the code.

So I have no particular qualms with requiring two reviews, but I'd
rather not require a separate gatekeeper "super-review" and instead
allow 2 code owner reviews when there are 2 code owners.
