+# These owners will be the default owners for everything in
+# the repo. Unless a later match takes precedence, members
+# of @climatepolicyradar/tech-devs will be requested for
+# review when someone opens a pull request. Teams should
+# be identified in the format @org/team-name. Teams must have
+# explicit write access to the repository.
