question: Should we start using OWNERS file to maintin code?

[harshit-mehtaa]

GitHub has a feature to use code owners where a CODEOWNERS file is maintained which defines the ownership of directories, and files, ...
In this way the owner would be auto-added to the PR and easy to track for new contributors

If you think this is good then I can open a PR for it

I don't understand the value of that. From my experience with OSS projects, contributors come and go and it's hard to name owner of particular file. GitHub tracks history of contributions, who changed what.

What will improve for the project after using it?
