This seems to be about GitHub’s annoying CODEOWNERS feature where every matching user in the CODEOWNERS file is forcefully added as a reviewer of opened PRs.
To my knowledge this “feature” can’t be toggled independently and in my experience often drastically reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of GitHub notifications for people in a CODEOWNERS file.
I wish GitHub allowed this to be configured. You either get this functionality and enforced code owner approval, or neither.
- moogly 2y agoIt's absolutely horrific. It has resulted in me not looking at my notifications ever again, and people have to ping me on Slack to get a review. I also don't understand why I get notifications about PRs that I myself closed or merged.
