I am thoroughly against this idea.
The idea about door requests is that even the smallest access request requires the AI to refocus its efforts. Track pubbie that wants to get into armory for whatever reason, open the door (the hotkeys already make this quick as hell), then return to whatever you were doing. Sounds like a thing that is completely pointless to keep right? Nope. The idea is that when you're being faced with a station of oh god track that fucking Luis Smith AI, these things provide breathing room - if the AI has to focus away from you to complete a door request you've got a small timeframe of breathing room which you can use to, maybe, take off your ID to make it a bit harder for you to be re-tracked.
What I could go for is a dynamic highlight setting for the AI to make it easier to notice input directed at you - add a verb that takes words separated by space, if any of the words pop up on the radio, the whole thing is underlined and now it suddenly stands out. Defaults to "AI open door", highlighting anyone asking for the AI or for a door to be opened.
