+# CODEOWNERS Best Practices
+# 1. Per Github docs: "Order is important; the last matching pattern takes the most precedence."
+# Please define less specific codeowner paths before more specific codeowner paths in order for the more specific rule to have priority
+# 2. Per Github docs:
+# "create a new file called CODEOWNERS in the .github/, root, or docs/ directory of the repository...
+# ...GitHub will search for them in that order and use the first one it finds."
+# Please put the CODEOWNERS file in .github
