Proposal
Currently inherited members cannot be added to CODEOWNERS and approvers lists for protected branches. This isn't a problem for users that don't have the owner role in the parent group because they can have a direct membership to a subgroup and they would show up for use in CODEOWNERS and approvers. But members with owner roles to the parent group are stuck because their owner role will always take precedence and show up as an inherited member, thereby preventing them from being added to the CODEOWNERS and approvers lists. There is a temporary workaround that is mentioned in the bug report linked to this issue.
It would be ideal to add the functionality to be able to add inherited members to the CODEOWNERS and approvers lists.
