-# The following groups are used to refer to a changing set of users:

-# * @grafana/grafana-agent-core-maintainers: maintainers of type/core issues.
-# * @grafana/grafana-agent-signals-maintainers: maintainers of type/signals issues.
-# * @grafana/grafana-agent-operator-maintainers: maintainers of type/operator issues.
-# * @grafana/grafana-agent-infrastructure-maintainers: maintainers of type/infrastructure issues.

-# Other users may be listed explicitly if maintainership does not fall into one

-# The default owners for everything in the repo. Unless a later match takes
-# precedence, these owners are requested for review whenever someone opens a

-# Some directories have shared ownership with the respective owners of the
