GitHub retired the `reviewers` key in dependabot.yml (deprecated 2025-05-27, removed 2025-08) in favor of CODEOWNERS. The key is now ignored, so the wg-maintenance-edx-platform team is no longer auto-requested on Dependabot PRs. - Remove the dead `reviewers` key and tidy indentation in dependabot.yml - Add a /.github/workflows/ entry in CODEOWNERS so the maintenance team continues to review GitHub Actions changes (incl. Dependabot bumps) Ref: https://github.com/dependabot/codeowner-migration-action
Revert the comment back to "Adding new check for github-actions" to keep the diff scoped to the reviewers-key removal.
