Exempt specific files from Codeowners rules
Problem to solve
In some cases an organization wants the strict control provided by codeowners on most files, but want to exclude a small number of files from this. For example, updating a pom file as part of a Maven CI pipeline.
Intended users
Proposal
One option would be to add an ignore section the existing codeowners file. Or to maintain compatibility with other systems, a separate codeownersignore could be used.
