There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should either drop container/CONTRIBUTORS.txt or rename it to MAINTAINERS as well and point to the MAINTAINERS file here.

We'd like a way for people to know who they can ping for help on PRs and issues, but we want to avoid being automatically assigned to PRs via something like CODEOWNERS. Instead, we've opted to list the maintainers of the project in a new MAINTAINERS file.
We opted to change from CONTRIBUTORS to MAINTAINERS since we believe that contributors are already acknowledged via the
Contributorstab on GitHub and in the release notes we make for each new release.In the future, the MAINTAINERS file can be extended to include additional maintainers and past maintainers can continue to be recognized for their work.
