Description
### Problem Statement
Hey, we use CODEOWNERS integration with teams mapping and auto-assigning. It is very easy to miss syncing issues: some time ago, we made some group changes, and syncing stopped working because of missing mapping rules. We discovered that accidentally after 3 months (!). During this period, developers pushed new CODEOWNERS changes and did not understand why they sometimes did not work correctly
### Solution Brainstorm
Having simple notifications, alerts, and status info about CODEOWNERS syncing will be nice: by slack or just via email. Then, proper persons can quickly fix missing mappings or CODEOWNERS file format
### Product Area
Settings - Repositories
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the CODEOWNERS integration sync flow, teams mapping rules, and repository Settings area; clarify whether the intended outcome is Slack or email notifications, status information, or both, and define the failure cases that must be reported.
