OWNERS file

OWNERS files are used to designate responsibility for different parts of the DevStream codebase. We use them to assign the Reviewer and Approver roles.

We will gradually define OWNERS for each DevStream plugin and each module of DevStream core.

A typical OWNERS file looks like below:

approvers:
- daniel # GitHub username
reviewers:
- daniel
- danny
