Topic: document people to contact for CI projects

Currently if there is a nontrivial issue in CI knowing who to ask is folklore. Maybe we should change the CI policy to require that it be documented, and document it for the already there projects?

I think it would work to put the info in basic-overlay, looking like

########################################################################
# Lean Importer (cc Gaëtan Gilbert @SkySkimmer)
########################################################################
project lean_importer "https://github.com/SkySkimmer/coq-lean-import" "master"

could one use code owners for this? The submitter owns the CI code?

I don't mind putting more documentation in my Coq CI scripts, though, if you specify some format for it

codeowners is more machine oriented imo

This sounds like a good idea to me. What happens when it is outside of GitHub?

you mean if the contact has no github account? we can put their email or zulip name or whatever works

Sounds like a good idea to me too.

Code owners are really best suited for people who have write access to a project (otherwise, they do not trigger review requests, for instance).

OK, so bottom line for me is that I'd be happy to document, but please consider first merging some documentation specifying the format with some examples.
