This PR removes the deprecated
reviewersfield from thedependabot.yamlconfiguration file in preparation for GitHub's upcoming removal of this feature.Changes Made
reviewerssections from.github/dependabot.yamlacross all package ecosystems (docker, github-actions, gomod).github/CODEOWNERSfile will now handle reviewer assignment for Dependabot PRsWhy This Change is Safe
The existing CODEOWNERS file provides equivalent or better reviewer coverage:
* @azure/azure-sdn-memberscovers all directories that previously hadreviewers: - "azure/azure-sdn-members"/dropgz/and/zapai/have their own targeted reviewers, providing even more precise assignments than the generic team assignmentBackground
According to GitHub's blog post, the
reviewersfield in dependabot.yml files will be removed soon, and GitHub will automatically use the CODEOWNERS file to determine reviewers for Dependabot PRs.This change ensures our repository remains compliant with the upcoming changes while maintaining the same reviewer assignment functionality.
Fixes #3714.
