 # Rules of code ownership
 # -----------------------
-# 1. Ideally all files in this repository have an owner - it is accepted that this is unlikely to happen
-# 2. We avoid broad ownership rules as much as possible and prefer more granular assignments
-# 3. Applications can be co-owned. If they are co-owned we should:
-#     2.1 Have one ownership rule for the entire application first, pointing to all teams owning the application (1)
-#     2.2 Have granular rules as good as possible to different parts of the application code, which take precedence over the broader rules (order of rules definition is important) (2)
-# 4. This file is grouped by applications and/or folders not by teams
-#     4.1 The order of rules within this file should match the default directory ordering
+# 1. @commercetools/merchant-center-tech-leadership reviews tooling and this file
+# 2. @commercetools/merchant-center-foundations-team-devs reviews all models, packages, and testing
