A hypothetical .gitlab/CODEOWNERS would be checked in as a generated
file, if that was unclear. Otherwise I'm not sure I understand your
first point?
There's no need to generate anything. Both github and gitlab support a
CODEOWNERS file in the project's root. Let's just move it there. We can
delete the old MAINTAINERS, too, once all of its entries have been
converted.
Why delete *our* correctly named MAINTAINERS? Tomorrow GH or GL could
decide that "pwning" something bears unnecessary and potentially offending
connotations and break the scheme.
I would argue that the list of MAINTAINERS file has basically nothing to
do with building FreeBSD so it is currently misplaced.
They want CODEOWNERS now? Fine, all it takes is a simple script to parse
MAINTAINERS and generate CODEOWNERS file they want. Once/if this changes,
we'd easily adapt.
CODEOWNERS became the de-facto standard, there's nothing special about
MAINTAINERS that justifies the need for a script. Do we really need a
bikeshed to determine the name of a file?
