Should we add more to the CODEOWNERS file?

[arschles]

The current CODEOWNERS file has only one line - everything is "owned" by @gomods/maintainers. We have a bigger community now, and a super different codebase, than we did when we committed that file.

Should we add more lines to the file so that we have different directories specialized to particular people/teams?

i would go with teams, which seems easier to manage. dont need to have PR with changes if you want to add somebody.
was thinking about package domain teams:

• storage
• api (incl middlewares)
• communication flow
• security
• test
• ops (tracing, config)

just from top of my head

@michalpristas would those be represented by wildcards in the codeowners file? Also, would we create Github teams for each of those categories?

I think we have to create teams in GitHub to assign them to portions of the codebase. I don't believe you can assign more than one person or entity as an owner, one @something etc.

@arschlesI meant in a way how @robjloranger described

I like the initial ideas @michalpristas had here #806 (comment)

We can always adjust as we move along. I'm happy to create the teams today if that's somewhere we'd like to start.
