Code Owners not being requested for review unless they have write permission

[TylerHelmuth]

I noticed today that Code Owners that do not have write permissions (so it seems) to the repository do not get automatically requested for review on PRs for which they are a code owner.

This PR, for example, probably should have requested review from a lot more people.

Whats strange is that it seems like users only need read access in order for the feature to work. Is the code owners for Contrib setup differently?

Nope, this is a known limitation of GH. I also proposed #7063 but the AWS folks seem to not make any progress.

@bogdandrutu I want to test something. Just sent you an invite you my fork of contrib.

[TylerHelmuth]

Nvm, my experiment won't work with a fork. I'll test another way.

I have a suspicion that read access is enough, but you have to be explicitly added in the Collaborators and teams section with read access.

[TylerHelmuth]

My suspicion was wrong :( definitely need write access, even as a user.
