-# Maintainers for terminal-arcade.
+# Who reviews what.
 #
-# Anyone listed here is automatically requested for review when a matching file
-# changes. This is what gives the 48-hour review promise an actual owner rather
-# than "someone will get to it".
+# GitHub requests a review from these people automatically when a pull request
+# touches a path they own. Code-owner review is REQUIRED on this repository, so
+# one of the names on the matching line has to approve before anything merges.
 #
-# A handle only works if that person has write access to this repo AND has
-# accepted the invitation. Check Settings → Collaborators.
+# Maintainer for the Python terminal games: @Vedant-OGC
+#
+# @pushpam2404 is on every line on purpose:
+#   - GitHub does not let anybody approve their own pull request, so a line
+#     naming one person would deadlock the moment that person opened one
+#   - if the maintainer is unavailable, nothing has to wait for them
+#
+# The last matching line wins, so the more specific rules are at the bottom.
 
 # Everything, by default

-# CI and contribution policy — these decide what "passing" means, so they get
