Actually you can approve your own teammates. Assuming their LDAP accounts are connected to their Phabricator accounts, you can go to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/members/3104/, click "add members", type their Phabricator usernames, and click "add members" to save.

I am not an official mentor in any way, or affiliated with whatever program you're in. I'm doing this as a courtesy, to try to be helpful. And the repeated pleading for me to take action (rather than addressing the process failure I quoted above) has exhausted my willingness to care.
