Handle a CODEOWNERS file in a .github-folder
When a repository has a .github/CODEOWNERS file we could mention to the user that they need to move the CODEOWNERS file to one of the locations we share with GitHub: the root of the repository, or docs/.
We might also try to use the .github/CODEOWNERS file, but it's not given that the usernames would be the same on both platforms. Users specified by email would keep working.
The following discussion from !6916 (merged) should be addressed:
