Github CODEOWNERS auto-assignment doesn't work as expected


Paul Sokolovsky
 

Hello,

As was noticed in a few (multiple?) PRs, automatic reviewer assignment
based on the CODEOWNERS file no longer works as expected, specifically
fails to assign reviewers.

A recent example of this is
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/15670 - while there's
an entry:

/subsys/net/ip/ @jukkar @tbursztyka @pfalcon

in CODEOWNERS, I wasn't requested for review. Again, that's not the
only case.

For a clean-room test, I submitted
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/15683 and as can be
seen, the reviewer list is empty.

This is problematic, because there's a risk that under-reviewed changes
will get into the codebase, causing regressions. So, raising to the
awareness of the TSC.
