When MR approvals are disabled, but approvers were previously assigned, all approvers receive a notification on every MR

Summary

When MR approvals are disabled, but approvers were previously assigned, all approvers become participants and receive a notification on every MR.

Steps to reproduce

• Enable MR approvals

• Assign approvers

• Disable MR approvals

• Create a merge request

• All approvers show up as participants and receive notifications.

Example Project

https://gitlab.com/carmenbianca/mr-approval/merge_requests/1

I and @RipCazza are approvers in that project. MR approvals are disabled.

What is the current bug behavior?

Approvers become participants and receive notifications.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The feature is disabled, so approvers should not become participants and receive notifications.
