[Janitorial] Please add MAINTAINERS.md

[RichiH]

Is your feature request related to a problem ?

I'm going through all of prometheus-community/ and adding an issue to create a MAINTAINERS.md where it's missing.

Ideally model it on https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md with a split between general mantainers and subsystem maintainers if applicable.

Thanks,
Richard

I guess the CODEOWNERS file needs to be replicated and adjusted as requested.

I guess the CODEOWNERS file needs to be replicated and adjusted as requested.

My thought exactly. I also checked https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/.github/CODEOWNERS and it doesn't have half of the maintainers that are on the https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md file.

These files are bound to be out of sync. Maybe we should automate this to make sure it doesn't happen?

[RichiH]

There's a lot of people in CODEOWNERS; I don't have enough context if that means "full" maintainer or not.

If it's equivalent, we can also symlink and be done with it.

Autmation and syncing is a good idea, indeed

@RichiH Unlike other community repositories, this is a multi-project repository. It contains multiple distinct projects (i.e., Helm charts) with different responsibilities.

However, there is one exception: there are well-defined admins who are responsible for the entire repository.

My question to you: What is expected? Maintainers for each component or maintainers for the whole repository?

Created #5083
It doesn't add much beyond CODEOWNERS, but it could help maintain consistency with other repositories.
