How can I remove a review request from my PR view?

GitHub Help How to use Git and GitHub
#1

I was asked to review some code in a repository. I do not have write permissions for this repository, so cannot close the PR. I can ask someone to close this (Which is what I’ll do), but I feel like I should be able to do this myself so it no longer shows in my PR requested review grid.

I do not see any way for me to remove this review request besides filtering. 

Is there no way to actually do this myself? If not, I see an exploit here. What if I open a public repository with no write access, and open thousands of review requests for the same person?

@andreagriffiths11 has there been any change regarding this topic? Is there a way to remove myself from the reviewers list of a PR?
