I do not know.

The documentation says:

People with admin or owner permissions can set up a CODEOWNERS file in a repository.

But you can have a different CODEOWNERS file on each branch. I suppose it's a kind of hardcoded protection rule for all branches. If you want to try I've created this test repo: https://github.com/josecelano-test/codeowners-test and added you as maintainer.

I've merged it in order to update the team name, but we have to find out what happens if a person with "write" permissions (not being ADMIN or repo OWNER) tries to update the file.

hi @da2ce7 , @yeraydavidrodriguez was able to push changes directly. So basically I suppose it only works for PRs. If you have "write" permission, you can change it. I suppose it's only a kind of warning to include some reviewers before merging PRs. That's all.
