= Code Ownership
:icons: font

This project utilizes a formally defined code ownership structure to ensure that specific components are reviewed by domain experts.

== Authority Model

Our ownership model is based on the "Perimeter" architecture:
* **Perimeter 1 (Core):** Strictly controlled by Lead Maintainers.
* **Perimeter 2 (Extensions):** Maintained by component owners.
* **Perimeter 3 (Community):** Open for broader community participation.

== Automated Enforcement

The technical rules for automatic review assignments are maintained in the machine-readable link:../../.github/CODEOWNERS[.github/CODEOWNERS] file. GitHub uses this to automatically notify owners when changes are proposed to their sections.

== Component Owners

A full list of maintainers and their contact information can be found in link:MAINTAINERS.adoc[MAINTAINERS.adoc].
