At the least, that should be rephrased.  Negative feedback isn't the
thing you really want to trigger off of.  It's more "if there is no
significant discussion" or something similar.  You can have something
with a lot of positive discussion that is still a large and invasive
Feature that should be reviewed by FESCo.

Also, there was dissent already in the "auto-approving" of leaf-features
during the meeting discussion so I am not sure that auto-accepting of
Features in general given a lack of response is ever going to actually
happen.  I personally wouldn't vote for it.
