Codeowners should automatically set approvers

Problem to solve

Gitlab has support for CODEOWNERS but we cannot automatically set approvers based on that, so CODEOWNERS never get a TODO or notification that they need to review and MR

Intended users

It could be used by everyone

Proposal

**Option 1: ** I would propose that there is a checkbox, add a checkbox like "Requires approval from code owners" with, "Automatically assign CODEOWNERS"

Options 2: In approvers configuration allow for special configuration, for example requires:

• 1 x codeowner
• 1 x Frontend group

Permissions and Security

Documentation

This is all I have so far, if more detail is required I can add it
