Description

We want an overview of maintainers - maybe we can leverage CODEOWNER files for this.

  • Since the documentation team touches multiple repositories (nix.dev, nixpkgs), we need to parse multiple files.
  • Not all entries should be visualised - especially not from the nixpkgs file. How do we match just maintainers?

Research direction

Start by comparing the CODEOWNER files in the nix.dev and nixpkgs repositories and identify how maintainer entries differ from other entries. Clarify which maintainers should be included and how the overview should represent them; done means the selected maintainers from both repositories are visualised consistently.
