Code Review
This pull request modifies the .github/CODEOWNERS file by commenting out the automatic review request rules for the @ChainSafe/lodestar team. This change is intended to transition the repository to manual pull request review requests and reduce notification noise. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

Motivation
The
.github/CODEOWNERSfile listed@ChainSafe/lodestaras the global owner(
* @ChainSafe/lodestar), which auto-requested the entire team for review onevery pull request. This generated significant notification noise for all team
members without adding a meaningful safeguard.
Description
Removes the per-file code-owner entries so PRs no longer auto-request the whole
team. A comment is retained in place of the entries to document the decision and
prevent a global owner from being reintroduced.
This is a notification-only change — the review, approval, and merge process
is unaffected:
unstablestill requires 1 approval, which isunchanged by this PR.
@ChainSafe/lodestar(maintain) and@ChainSafe/lodestar-admins(admin) teams — there are no outside collaboratorsor third-party teams — so the set of eligible approvers does not effectively
change.
require_code_owner_reviewsremains enabled but becomes a no-op with no ownersdefined; it can be unchecked in branch protection settings at a later time.
If required code-owner review is ever desired again without the team-wide ping,
the recommended path is the team's Code review assignment setting with
"don't notify the entire team" enabled — rather than re-adding a global owner.
Steps to test
No code changes. After merge, opening a PR should no longer auto-request
@ChainSafe/lodestar, while the existing required-approval gate continues toapply.
