Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
Release notes
While CODEOWNERS allows dynamic requirement for Merge Request approval, the same can only be achieved when CODEOWNERS members are aware of action items (review and approval). This feature add a configuration that allows automatic assignment of reviewers of a Merge Request based on the changes and the CODEOWNERS approval that it generates. When in use, this setting will update and override any manual modification to the reviewers list while the Merge Request content is updated (commits that modify scope of approval).
Problem to solve
As a GitLab project administrator, using CODEOWNERS feature, I want that members required to review and approve a Merge Request are notified.
Intended users
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Simone (Software Engineer in Test)
- Isaac (Infrastructure Engineer)
- Alex (Security Operations Engineer)
