I’d like to be notified of changes so I can ensure the API always follows the same patterns.
Later (more specific) files replace more general codeowners [according to the documentation](https://help.github.com/articles/about-codeowners/), so I also listed `edolstra` and `nbp` again.
This format uses the path matching algorithm as the .gitignore format.
The paths need to be prefixed with a / to become absolute, otherwise it
will match all of these files.
The paths will also match any of the sub-paths by default so it's not
necessary to use the `*` like in bash globbing.
This sets up the Darwin-maintainers team as CODEOWNERS for Darwin paths. So anyone in that team will get notified (instead of just listing individuals).

Some time ago GitHub introduced the CODEOWNERS file. The file is similar
to the MAINTAINERS file that was proposed in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/13602. Code owners will
automatically receive a review request.
Suggest prefixing commit messages that touches NixOS code with
"nixos/<module>" instead of the current "<name> service" prefix.
"<name> service" is limiting in that NixOS code is more than the
services. It is also easier to spot NixOS changes with explicit
"nixos/..." prefix.
On several occasions I've seen people bumping packages which have NixOS
tests but without actually running them.
While this probably won't prevent such occasions entirely, at least it
serves as an additional checklist item so contributors don't forget
about these tests.
