This plugin works with Gerrit projects that use Android or Chromium compatible OWNERS files. The OWNERS files specify owners, or active maintainers, of a project and its directories or files. Changes to those files or directories will need owner's review and approval before submission, with some exceptions.

OWNERS files syntax is described in syntax.md. Projects with OWNERS file should be configured with Prolog submit_rule or submit_filter, see config.md.

A [FIND OWNERS] action button is added to the Gerrit revision screen. The button pops up a window that contains

• owners of changed files for users to select to add to the reviewers list, and
• changed files without required owner code review vote.

A REST API is added to get owners information of a change. The API is described in rest-api.md.
