Learning about CODEOWNERS files

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

Use CODEOWNERS files to auto-assign code reviewers based on which files/folders were changed.

This repo has an example PR where @hchiam was automatically assigned to review, because the CODEOWNERS file had * @hchiam.

Note: apparently you have to set sub-folder-specific owners at the top level, not with separate CODEOWNERS files in respective sub-folders.
