Create CODEOWNERS

[sarahraqueld]

As part of our work to easily identify the maintainers of our open source projects, this PR adds a CODEOWNER file.

What it does:

Automatically include people as reviewers on pull requests
Provide a clear reference of who should be answering questions and making decisions
Make it easy to search for projects which need a new owner when needed
I'm adding only @nickcharlton as I've seen PRs from him lately. Let me know if it's incorrect. Thanks!

I've been kind of avoiding this, as whilst we seem to have done this elsewhere, I don't think it's actually beneficial.

Whilst I am the product manager/primary maintainer/responsible person, those with commit access don't need my "approval" to make changes, and others like @pablobm contribute so much as well, but I feel adding people to "owner" implies a level of responsibility which is unfair.

Code owners are automatically requested for review when someone opens a pull request that modifies code that they own.

From the GitHub Docs, is not actually something I want and will make my notifications significantly worse — once you've been tagged to review something you're subsequently so on every notification (much like being mentioned) and it'll be really hard to distinguish those I am actively helping and those someone else is.

Of course, if we must do this because we're doing it elsewhere, then fine.

That makes sense! I'll close this.
