PRs with only Markdown changes don't trigger workflows that are required for merging #1339
Description
Describe the problem
As recently demonstrated in PR #1332 and currently blocking #1330, changes that only update Markdown files (e.g. RULES.md) do not trigger actions / workflows / required checks that are prerequisites for merging. Merging these PRs require a manual override from a repo admi (aka @fredericsimard), which seems heavy weight for simple documentation changes.
This issue tracks potential options for improving this situation.
