Content Approval - for users except self if i am the approver

We have approvals enabled. But since i´m one of the approvers, by user or by role, doesnt matter, I should not need to click "Send for approval"-->"Approve"-->"Publish" to Publish stuff (also i get mails and notifications) I should be able to Publish right away.

That would be neat. Fair?

Request from my editors

I'm late to the party here but if you editors really want this feature then you could reverse the usage of the isUserInApprovalSequence() method I blogged about here and just publish instead:

Bear in mind they would lose the ability to add a approval comment if thats how the sequence has been configured.

Welcome to the party, don´t seem to be able to approve from EPiServer.ContentEventArgs, e.Cancel is easy, but you don-t have a e.Approve. any thoughts?

Would be lovely even before push button to have the Publish instead of "Send for Approval" if user is approver.

I would probably need to build a custom approval step... still..
