Problem to solve

When using CODEOWNERS, groups can be assigned as MR reviewers. However, when an MR author is selecting a reviewer, there is no way to tell if the users listed as eligible reviewers were specifically listed or were included as part of a group.

For example:

/dir_a/ @jane @john @repo/admins

Jane & John are individuals selected as CODEOWNERS, but if Jack & Sally are members of repo/admins, they will show in the list of reviewers as well, with no indication of the group being the reason they are an option.

Proposal

Highlight group membership when selecting merge request reviewers that are populated from CODEOWNER groups, similar to how MR Approvals show what approval group the reviewers are in below their name.
