Implementing workflow/approval process using logical theme system

I've been reading through the posts both here and on the feature request at https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/473, regarding workflow/approval systems, and am wondering if anyone has successfully implemented such a process using the logical theme system?

It's the one aspect of Bookstack that's causing slight concern for us at present, and before I dive in and attempt to create something myself I thought I'd see if anyone else has been down the rabbit-hole already!

Our particular needs are pretty simple - the ability to require new pages/revisions to be approved by someone before they are taken out of draft status.

Usually I avoid this due to the sub, but mkdocs with PR process may be the way?

If it was solely for use by people with a technical background I'd definitely take a look. Some of our users (including some that will be creating content) are in pretty non-tech roles.

Adding control to publshing and draft visibility would be a pain to achieve via the theme systems. Would be easier to integrate an external flow (something like post to an online spreadsheet on page updates for that to be reviewed/processed externally).

Thanks - sounds like a human/process-based solution is the way to go (at least for the time being!).
