Implement Debouncing for Approve Button Clicks in Gitea Pull Requests

[LKI]

Description

I have discovered that Gitea lacks debouncing functionality for the approve button, which can result in repeated approvals if users click quickly before the website responds. Additionally, this can lead to multiple webhook calls being triggered.

To solve this issue, I suggest implementing a debounce mechanism in Gitea. Debouncing would effectively merge and handle multiple rapid approve actions performed by a user during a single interaction.

Here is a screenshot illustrating the problem:

I kindly request the Gitea development team to consider adding this feature to enhance the user experience and prevent unintended repeated approvals.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I appreciate your efforts in continually improving Gitea.

I think to improve this, we might first change the form submit to post by fetch in js, and then do debounce or add flag like isFetching, and if the flag is true, do not post repeatedly.

AJAX is the answer to the problem.
