[Policy] Replace "code owners" with "maintainers" #107384
[Policy] Replace "code owners" with "maintainers" #107384
Conversation
This replaces the previous Code Owners section of our developer policy with a new section for Maintainers. It also updates most of the places we mention "code owner" in the documentation (it does not update the files named `Code Owners.rst` or similar because those should be updated when the subprojects add their `Maintainers.rst` file). Please see the RFC for more details: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-proposing-changes-to-the-community-code-ownership-policy/80714/

LGTM. Some nits, but I think this is basically good as-is.

Unrelated side note: I think that nowadays only release managers can merge to release branches.

LGTM. Thanks again @AaronBallman for driving this.
Following https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-proposing-changes-to-the-community-code-ownership-policy/80714 and llvm#107384, this PR moves the llvm CODE_OWNERS.txt to the Maintainers.rst file. The format of the Maintainers.rst file follows the current CodeOwners.rst from clang, with some minor changes to account for the code owners -> maintainers migration. This change is intended to be a pure format change, without changing any actual code owners / maintainers. The list is still very badly outdated. The intent here is to get the format change out of the way, so we can get proper diffs when replacing no longer active maintainers. If we mix both together, it will be hard to follow what actually changed. I've tried to categorize things as best as I could, and filled in GitHub handles for people where I knew them or could determine them with some confidence.

To align with the new policy: https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#maintainers I've assumed that Jonas will be the "Lead Maintainer" as he was the default Code Owner. I know the past Code Owners weren't "Maintainers" but it's the same energy so I've changed it there too.

This replaces the previous Code Owners section of our developer policy with a new section for Maintainers. It also updates most of the places we mention "code owner" in the documentation (it does not update the files named
Code Owners.rst
or similar because those should be updated when the subprojects add theirMaintainers.rst
file).The wording was taken from what was proposed in the RFC (including all suggested amendments from folks on the thread).
