| 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](syntax.md). |
| Projects with **OWNERS** file should be configured with |
| Prolog `submit_rule` or `submit_filter`, see [config.md](config.md). |
| |
| A **`Find Owners`** button is added to the Gerrit revision screen |
| if a change needs owner approval. The button pops up a window that contains |
| * current reviewers and owners of changed files for users to select, and |
| * optionally 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](rest-api.md). |
