Hey folks, Yusuke is interested in adding the CODEOWNERS file to the WebKit project (see https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/1137 <https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/1137>). There have been some objections to this, the two ones I’m aware of: - WebKit doesn’t assign “ownership” to pieces of code, so the name is unfortunate - The last match “wins”, so if you subscribed to a generic directory early in the file, more specific matches would override that subscription Despite these downsides, I think adding the CODEOWNERS file is good for the project for a few reasons: - It’s a standard natively supported by GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab and will be familiar to developers - File format is more simple than existing watchlist - Support for groups and individuals - No need for WebKit to host a service (other implementations of auto-CCing would require this) I intend to work with Yusuke to land https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/1137 <https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/1137> and start adopting CODEOWNERS on Monday absent objections that folks think overshadow the benefits of the CODEOWNERS file.
