   > Thank you for your commitment, i understand your proposal. But from my 
perspective it should be discussed inside the google team if we want someone to 
be a codeowner of Google provider, other than someone who is actually working 
actively for Google. For now i would kindly ask to revert this change before i 
can discuss this inside the team.
   
   Yes @eladkal is right - CODEOWNER is nothing more than being notified when 
there is  a change and setting that person as reviewer - the name of this 
feature is **wrong** (naming is hard). Because this is not about ownership - 
ASF is the owner of such code at the moment it is merged - and no-one else is, 
neither maintainers nor google code. 
   
   And any of the maintainers can add themselves to be notified when there are 
changes to the code - there is nothing wrong with it. 
   
   We are also addressing it better in the future when it comes to notifying 
Google team and other stakeholders via 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/AIP-95+Provider+lifecycle+update+proposal
 - there will be dashboards implemented over time and notification mechanisms 
that will work beyond just maintainers. And we are introducing stewardship 
concept - but even that stewardship does not mean that any maintainer can 
anyhow approve and merge a code in any part of the code. Only maintainers 
(committers) can give binding +1 to any of the code to merge it - this is 
governed by the ASF voting on code modification 
https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#votes-on-code-modification - 
where only commiters / maintainers have a binding +1 (and also -1 being veto) - 
others, who are not committers can have advisory votes and with our stewardship 
proposal we have soft internal agreement on steward being involved and 
generally necessary (except some common global refactors and
  such) to have a say. But still any of the maintainers can choose to be added 
to CODEOWNERS to be notified if they want to. AIP-95 does not change it.
