Has anyone looked at this?  Do we have any interest?

True, I was just throwing this out there.

We DO have implicit owners for certain things however.

contrib/**  ( the docker stuff ) is an example where this would make sense.

Also, I don’t think any committer would commit a pr against Profiler
without your input,
or against Stellar without casey’s +1.  I expect when and if the feature
branch lands the same
will be true of the bundles-lib and myself for example.

I do not want to see hard dependencies on anyone. Life happens sometimes,
but the project has to keep moving.

Also, I don't want to see certain parts of the project that are only known
by a few individuals. While I don't think this Github feature directly
leads to that, it makes it far easier to slip down that slope.
