+## OWNERS file
+
+`OWNERS` files are used to designate responsibility for different parts of the DevStream codebase. We use them to assign the `Reviewer` and `Approver` roles.
+
+We will gradually define `OWNERS` for each DevStream plugin and each module of DevStream core.
+
+A typical OWNERS file looks like below:
+
+```yaml
+approvers:
+- daniel # GitHub username
+reviewers:
+- daniel
+- danny
+```
