Re: [edk2-devel] [Patch V2 0/3] Add GitHub IDs to Maintainers.txt

["Sean" <spbrogan@outlook.com>]

Is Maintainers.txt a standard file used by standard tools or just a 
custom file for the GetMaintainer.py script?

There is a similar idea used by github (and maybe others) called 
CODEOWNERS.  See 
https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/creating-a-repository-on-github/about-code-owners

This allows github to auto assign reviewers to a PR.  Would it make 
sense to try to align?

Thanks
Sean
