`GET /orgs/{org}/approvals`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | List the requests waiting for approval. |
| What does it take? | `org` in the path, and `status` in the query string. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`ApprovalRequestList`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#approvalrequestlist). |
| What can go wrong? | `401` not signed in; `403` the caller does not approve (orgs.forbidden); `404` no such organisation, or the caller is not a member of it; `429` too many requests; `503` organisations are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
