The intention being that we can choose to expand our pool of senior reviewers beyond just the current maintainers. This may be important when one of the current maintainers retires from the role but is still active in the project and interested in reviewing.
I hope expanding this pool might help tackle the current 72 open PR review mountain somewhat over time.
The current "senior/seasoned reviewers" team is here:
https://github.com/orgs/pygame-community/teams/pygame-senior-reviewers
and right now this team is identical with the current maintainers.
Other things we could consider with the CODEOWNERS file:
The file has cascading 'ownership', so more specific ownership lower down the file takes precedence over broader 'ownership' higher up. You can read more about customising the file here:
