Since you’re working on the `must_approve_users` section of `track-setting-changes` anyway, could you also add a check to ensure that not only is the `target_id` correct, but that the `target_type` is a user? That could prevent a [flagged chat message from preventing a user from being approved](https://meta.discourse.org/t/must-approve-users-notifications-are-incorrectly-triggered-by-old-users/240731/4).
