Modowners is a way to ensure that each Go dependency has at least one team responsible for maintaining and upgrading it.
The `validate-modfile` drone step checks `go.mod` and will pass if every dependency has an owner. When adding a new dependency, add the responsible team in a line comment.
Currently `validate-modfile` is non-blocking, but will eventually become a blocking step. All newly added dependencies will require an assigned owner.
For existing dependencies, please review and update ownership of your team’s dependencies in `go.mod`.
- If any assignments are incorrect, you can replace your team name with the correct team in `go.mod`.
- If you don’t know who the correct team is, you can reassign the dependency back to backend platform. Afterwards, open a PR and assign backend platform as reviewers.
