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 should be addressed: - [ ] @reprazent started a [discussion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6916#note_95473258): (+1 comment) > Should we also allow `.github/CODEOWNERS` to support people ~movingtogitlab? > > cc @jramsay
