Migration of "Automatically included reviewers" from ADO project branch policies

Workflow Design

Phase 1: Detection

Identify ADO "automatically included reviewers" policies
Extract path filters and reviewer lists

Phase 2: Template Generation

Convert ADO paths to CODEOWNERS patterns
Create placeholder entries for each reviewer

Phase 3: MR Creation

Create feature branch from default branch
Commit CODEOWNERS template
Generate comprehensive MR description with:
- Original ADO policy summary
- Step-by-step conversion instructions
- Links to GitLab CODEOWNERS documentation

Phase 4: Post-Migration Action

Team reviews MR after migration completes
Manually converts placeholders to GitLab users/groups
Validates path patterns are still relevant
Merges when ready
