I thought about it and decided not to because (a) the experts list is keyed
on bugs.python.org account names and so I didn't want to have to look up
details, (b) this is much more automated than being manually nosied on an
issue and so people might not want as much GH notification traffic as
compared to issues, (c) I didn't want to botch the file path rules for
someone by improperly assuming what people wanted to be notified on, (d) I
don't wanna spend the time to do it when we all can edit the CODEOWNERS
file easily enough. :)
