'Branch Policy: Require atleast 1 Approval from specified approvers

We have 6 people on the project team: 1 Tech-lead and 1 Assistant Tech-lead.

In our branch policy we want to require that only the Tech-lead or Assistant Tech-lead can approve the pull request. We only need approval from one of them to avoid a bottleneck if the other one is on leave.

The problem is there are only 2 choices in the branch policy settings:

  1. Specifying the number of required approvers (which will not work since normal developers would be able to approve as well)
  2. Specifying the actual person to approve (which will not work since both of them will be required and cause a bottleneck when one is on leave)

Can someone please point us in the right direction?
