chore(codeowners): retire @blavity/platform-team -> @blavity/engineering (org-wide default) - #4
Merged
Conversation
This is the ORG-WIDE default CODEOWNERS: it applies to every repository that does not ship its own. @blavity/platform-team has been deleted (platform PR #1870) — it was an escalation alias for the single platform engineer inside @blavity/engineering. GitHub silently ignores a CODEOWNERS entry naming a non-existent team, so until now every repo falling back to this file had no effective code owner at all. Point the default at @blavity/engineering. Landed last in the retirement sequence, after the per-repo CODEOWNERS swaps, so no repository was ever left relying on this fallback while it still named a live-but-wrong team.

Final step in retiring the
@blavity/platform-teamGitHub team.Why this one matters most
This is the org-wide default CODEOWNERS — it applies to every repository in the org that doesn't ship its own.
@blavity/platform-teamhas been deleted (platform IaC: https://github.com/blavity/platform/pull/1870; platform CODEOWNERS: https://github.com/blavity/platform/pull/1862). It was an escalation alias for the single platform engineer inside@blavity/engineering, never a staffed team.GitHub silently ignores a CODEOWNERS entry naming a non-existent team. So every repo currently falling back to this file has no effective code owner at all — review requests aren't routed, and any
require_code_owner_reviewgate relying on the fallback can't be satisfied by anyone. This change restores the intended default.Sequencing
Landed last in the retirement, deliberately. The per-repo CODEOWNERS swaps went first:
so no repository was left leaning on this fallback while it still named a team that had gone away.
