Runtime file maintainers and GitHub's code owners feature

[Doug Kearns]

G'day all,

I have noticed that there are often pull requests for updates to runtime files created against the main repo rather than being directed to the appropriate maintainers.

GitHub apparently has a feature[1] that allows for file ownership.  If adopted this would cause the maintainer to be notified of any such pull requests and be required to review the change.

I fear the unintended consequences but it might give Christian and others a break from issuing the constant reminders. :)

Regards,

Doug

Thanks for the hint. I'll give it a try. Let's start with Charles, who
maintains several files.

a "fool" install, instead. Charles E Campbell, Jr, PhD
