Hello @atm-snag2, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
Summary of Changes
Hello team, gemini-code-assist here to provide a summary of this pull request. The primary goal of this PR is to align the repository's dependency update review process with GitHub's recommended approach, specifically by migrating from Dependabot's built-in reviewers configuration to using the standard .github/CODEOWNERS file. This change is in response to GitHub's deprecation of the reviewers option in Dependabot.
Highlights
- Introduce CODEOWNERS file: A new file,
.github/CODEOWNERS, is added to the repository. This file defines which teams or users are responsible for reviewing changes to specific files or directories. In this case, the@increments/qiita-dev-groupis assigned as the code owner for paths related to GitHub Actions workflows, the/actions/publishdirectory, and the root-level npm package files (package.json,yarn.lock). - Remove Dependabot reviewers: The
reviewersfield is removed from thedependabot.ymlconfiguration file for all defined package ecosystems (github-actions for/and/actions/publish, and npm for/). This removes the redundant configuration now that code ownership is handled via the.github/CODEOWNERSfile.

Code Review
This pull request correctly implements the new GitHub recommendation for managing Dependabot reviewers by transitioning from the dependabot.yml reviewers field to the .github/CODEOWNERS file. The changes are clear, concise, and align well with the linked GitHub blog post.
The new .github/CODEOWNERS file is well-structured, and the paths correctly correspond to the configurations in dependabot.yml. The removal of the reviewers sections from dependabot.yml is also done correctly.
Overall, this is a good update that improves maintainability by centralizing ownership information.
