[sig-cloud-provider] Code Freeze Exception for KEP-5237

[Michael McCune]

Enhancement name: CCM: watch-based route controller reconciliation using informers
Enhancement status (alpha/beta/stable): alpha
SIG: cloud-provider
k/enhancements repo issue #: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/5237

PR #'s:

- https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131220

Additional time needed (in calendar days, due end of day AoE): 14 (5 + 9 for kubecon)
Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: it minimizes cloud API calls for cloud-controller-manager users.
Risks from adding code late: the risk is low as we are behind a feature gate
Risks from cutting enhancement: merged KEP already refers to this milestone as first alpha release

Enhancement 5237 (implementation PR #131220) is at risk for the code freeze due to outdated permissions
in two OWNERS files preventing the SIG cloud-provider from merging the pull request.
