Gitlab API support for owners check about codeowners-validator HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @udayrajMT

The idea sounds interesting. I will try to investigate if the GitHub CODEOWNERS and the Gitlab ones have the same syntax expression as currently, the codeowners-validator validates a few things which are tightly connected with GitHub :)

from codeowners-validator.

@mszostok the codeowners files in both do follow the same syntax:
Github ref

A CODEOWNERS file uses a pattern that follows the same rules used in gitignore files. The pattern is followed by one or more GitHub usernames or team names using the standard @username or @org/team-name format. You can also refer to a user by an email address that has been added to their GitHub account, for example [email protected]

Gitlab ref

Files can be specified using the same kind of patterns you would use in the .gitignore file followed by one or more of:
A user’s @username.
A user’s email address.
The @name of one or more groups that should be owners of the file.
