Here is my draft PR for a CODEOWNERS file in our repository:
https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/16962

Already got some good feedback. If you could please take a look and see
what you think about the layout/proposed use case, I will then
auto-populate it from the git logs and prune it by hand to get it merged.

Thanks,
Matteo
