Hmm we've never tried adding non core developers intoCODEOWNERS yet, so I'm not sure if this will work. The effect ofcodeowners file is that you will be automatically requested review for the matched PR, and I don't know if we can request review from people outside of Python org.

But anyway, let's try this, and we can always revert the change.

Thanks@Mariatta ! Now all I need to do is open a PR and see if it works ;-)

People with admin or owner permissions can set up a CODEOWNERS file in a repository. The people you choose as code owners must have write permissions for the repository.

I opened#13660 to revert this since@tirkarthi found that reference saying@maxking would need to have write access to get notifications.

Maybe once the new "triage" access is launched that will work with CODEOWNERS and then we can give@maxking that level of access.
