Rethink the required GH checks #2968
Description
> Not sure if the expected test that's pending is a side effect of this change @mdelapenya?
This is because we have a setting in the GH repo, as code in the .github/settings.yml file, with the minimal set of checks that are required to mark the PR as mergeable.
With a dynamic set of checks, I'm not sure if we need this setting anymore, or at least, look for a final node in the pipeline that is green. Do you agree that we could skip it and find the solution in a follow-up?
