Let's make CODEOWNERS / OWNERS a different discussion?

| - **Code changes.** Every PR needs at least one Maintainer approval and green CI before merge. Authors do not merge their own PRs. | ||
| - **Design changes.** File a GitHub issue or discussion describing the proposal and tag relevant Maintainers. Allow at least one week for feedback. Significant changes require majority Maintainer support. | ||
| - **Disputes.** Try to resolve on the PR or issue first. If that fails, any participant can ask the Maintainers to decide; Maintainers resolve by majority vote. |

This is OK for now, but hopefully we will see more direct ownership of subsystems which will delegate authority away from "majority" votes.

To clarify, AIUI we have two distinct places where we can apply "authority": Org: Member / Owner Repo: Read / Triage / Write / Maintain / Admin I think we should distinguish "project administration" from "development" from the beginning, so Org:Owner, Repo:Maintain, and Repo:Admin are put aside for now. This doc proposes 3 tiers: Contributors, Reviewers, Maintainers. There's an implicit tier below contributors ("contributor to be"). Default: not an org member or repo collaborator Contributor:
Reviewer:
Maintainer:
Does that map? Eventually we will want to use OWNERS or CODEOWNERS |

Howdy folks! Thanks for the awesome work :) I hear you may be open to some of us eager to help out. Here's my bit to get started.
NOTE: we don't yet have a.github/CODEOWNERSAdded one :)
