Hi all,

The Airflow documentation recommends setting the owner field of a task to
the UNIX user airflow is running under, but I can't see anything in the
source code that makes use of it other than:
- run_as_owner in the Hive operator
- the notify_owner decorator for e-mail-on-DAG-action

Is there anything critical I've missed? Or, more crucially, anything that
would break if the owner was not a valid system user?

Our use-case is we send Datadog events (and then on to PagerDuty) on SLA
misses and I'd like to use the owner field to tag the team that owns a DAG.

Kind regards,
James
