Continuation of #4816.
There's unfortunately not a great way to to do this. See this discussion: community/community#13690.
I've looked at a few other repos for inspiration, but it doesn't seem like they use protected branches, so they can merge changes to docs without having to "pass" required checks.
Only Next.js does something similar to this (see https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/.github/workflows/build_test_deploy.yml; almost every step has
if: ${{needs.build.outputs.docsChange != 'docs only change'}}
); it's tedious, but I'm not sure that there's a better way yet.
