How can we add a user ability to "submit bypass requests" for PR with failed check?

Body

There is a functionality in repository rulesets settings to restrict developers from merging PRs into some branches, until all checks are passed.

However, there is no ability for a user to send a bypass request from PR with failed checks at GH WEB.

But the repo ruleset settings at: "Repository -> Settings -> Rulesets -> Bypass Requests" saying that:

Users may submit bypass requests to perform actions with rule violations. Actors on the bypass list of a ruleset may approve and manage bypass requests from this page.

I have checked the documentation and all options in the repo:

• Require checks before PR can be merged: DOC

And I can't see how it works. I can add users and groups in: "Bypass list"

Exempt roles, teams, agents, apps, and users from this ruleset by adding them to the bypass list.

But it only works as for each added user - to directly bypass PR with failed checks, no request was sent.

Is there something I am not aware of?
How can I give developers an ability to send a bypass request for PR with failed checks?

Hey! Here are some suggestions on how to fix this:

Bypass list: Remove your regular developers from the "Bypass list". If they are on this list, they will just bypass the rule directly instead of sending a request.

Approvers: Only add the people who should approve the requests (like admins or team leads) to the ruleset's "Bypass list".

Settings: Make sure the general "Bypass requests" feature is turned on in your repository or organization settings.

How it works: Once you do this, when a regular developer (who is not on the bypass list) gets blocked by failed checks on a PR, GitHub will show them a prompt to request a bypass from the people who are on the list.

Hope this helps!
