There are automatic reviewer assignments based on the codeowners file. msf is not attached to the project anymore. So it's quite annoying to get PRs automatically assigned to him. Probably for him as well.

I think this will probably need some discussion, partly because I don't think there's an agreed definition of what inclusion in CODEOWNERS means!

I've scheduled a discussion at the next TC meeting (on Thursday 6th November).

About MSF being added as a reviewer to some PRs: I'm not sure I can see any downside to anyone who isn't controlling his inbox :-) I agree that it would be annoying if a random person got added to e.g. @lowRISC/ot-dv-reviewers because this might mean a PR didn't get reviewed. But tagging someone as a codeowner in this file won't have that effect, I don't think.

To my knowledge, OpenTitan currently has no concept of a code owner. There was an RFC last year, but no agreement was reached.

That said, the CODEOWNERS file is currently used solely to control the automatic assignment of reviewers to PRs. It's bad and also annoying to get msf on around 80% of the PRs assigned, although he is not actively working on the project anymore. I might know about this fact. Others not necessarily and then wait for a review.
