Thanks for doing the issue sleuthing. This is an excruciatingly bad look.
You'd have thought with all the code-owner functionality that GL has, they would lock down the `/lib/gitlab/auth/` files to require a security engineer to give additional signoff on top of a normal review. It looks like anyone at Gitlab can approve changes to the auth code (except LDAP): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/C... which is terrifying if true.
