Identify the person who did the approval in subsequent jobs

To provide more transparency as to the person who did the approval for subsequent jobs.
Currently the UI shows the "approver" beside the approval button. If somehow that information could be relayed as ${CIRCLE_APPROVER} to subsequent jobs, then it opens up a lot of flexibility for automation purposes.

I understand that there is a way to get this via the API (https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044820493-How-to-Find-hold-Step-Approver-in-a-Workflow-), and there is a little-used Orb (https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/commitdev/approvals) to do this [which I couldn't get to work], but making it available as a first-class ENV variable would be _really_ nice.

+1 for this. Massively needed feature to expand the use of manual approvals.
