Team focus

Invest in a team that has long term ownership on the API surface in REST and GraphQL as a product 

1. Action: Fix and maintain the rake tasks that will generate OpenAPI spec based on Grape API definitions (example of using Optic fuzzing to generate CDot OpenAPI docs). The team should also be responsible for automatically updating the docs based on this. See epic gitlab-org&5792
2. Note: We should be able to mark individual fields as experimental/EE only, etc (with annotations) -- gitlab-org/gitlab#520258 (closed)
3. Action: Investigate whether we can automatically generate API specs and then auto translate it to REST+GraphQL -- gitlab-org/gitlab#520262
   1. REST APIs from GraphQL endpoints (doesn’t have to work in all cases)
   2. Some to create a blueprint
4. Action: Investigate observability for GraphQL API
