Hi,

I recently noticed GitHub enabled a feature that allows specifying
code owners for different pieces of code:

https://github.com/blog/2392-introducing-code-owners

It should supposedly automatically

add the proper reviewers to patches.


Not sure what are they using to identify people, are these GitHub
usernames? This feels a bit like lock-in.

It might be better to enforce using email addresse in the file.

Is actually prefer if there was a way to keep this out of the code, or if
they'd adopted Kubernetses format for this instead of inventing thier own.


We have similar feature enabled in Gerrit and it might make sense for
our GitHub specific projects to do the same.


Sure, why not. Its been very useful in Gerrit.

(It might even make sense
to follow the same format in Gerrit)


If soneone would contribute a parser to the GitHub format (which is to say,
something that would scan a commit and yield a list of addresses). We could
make it work with a hook or a Jenkins job.
