Today you can add a codeowner_team to .repo-metadata.json, and it will add that team as a CODEOWNER along side the language specific team. There are cases where we want multiple teams, often both a DPE team and a product engineering team that need CODEOWERS access. Ideally, codeowner_team would support both a string, and an array.

Today, we would need to:

• hand modify the CODEOWNERS file
• Add CODEOWNERS to the ignore list synth.py when copying templates
