restricted to sys admins (or whatever role desired)

script:

function trigger_new_approval(){
var res=confirm('Have you updated the approver and are happy to trigger a new approval notification?');
if (res){
alert('re-sending approval to ' + g_form.getValue('approver'));
gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'resend_email'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action
}
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined'){
resend_approval();
}
function resend_approval(){

var grAppr=new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
var grUser=new GlideRecord('sys_user');
if (grUser.get('sys_id', current.approver)){
if (!gs.nil(grUser.email)){
gs.eventQueue('approval.inserted', current, grUser.sys_id, grUser.user_name);//--as per 'Approval Events (Task)' bus rule logic
gs.addInfoMessage('resent approval to ' + grUser.email);
gs.addInfoMessage(grUser.sys_id);
gs.addInfoMessage(grUser.user_name);
var sURL="/sys_email_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_created_onONLast%2030%20minutes%40javascript%3Ags.beginningOfLast30Minutes()%40javascript%3Ags.endOfLast30Minutes()";

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
