Describe the feature request

A good use for scoping issues and triaging is to make use of github teams and an CODEOWNERS file for each of your projects (say OpenMCT/MMGIS).

Check out how we do it at webpack. This will make your admin/maintainance tasking better.

Keep in mind that this will make your teams public on GitHub, so it might not be ideal for you. Just mentioning, in case if it’s relevant.

Edit: A method is to list all members of a team manually.

A good effect of having a codeowners file, is that you can scope developers to designated folders, aka the parts of a project each member is responsible for, each file type a member is responsible for and so on..

Thanks Even! We'll give it a look over and see if it's worth bringing in to our development flow.
