The repo is a 2-person team where both maintainers own every path, so the
CODEOWNERS machinery (generated CODEOWNERS, roles yml, render script, the two
drift/hand-edit CI jobs) gated nothing real while adding friction: every PR
showed "Review required" and own-PRs merged only via admin/bypass override.
Remove the whole chassis and drop the review gate:
- delete .github/CODEOWNERS, codeowners-roles.yml, render-codeowners.py,
the CODEOWNERS workflow, and docs/dev/codeowners.md
- branch-protection.json: drop the two CODEOWNERS required status checks,
set require_code_owner_reviews=false and required_approving_review_count=0
(CI checks are the gate; maintainers merge their own PRs once green)
- scrub CODEOWNERS references from AGENTS.md, docs indexes, branch-protection
and ci docs, GOVERNANCE.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md
The policy change is inert until an admin runs scripts/apply-branch-protection.sh.

The full workspace + failpoints suite was the slowest PR gate (~15min
warm, up to the 75min cold ceiling) and dominated PR turnaround. Gate the
`test` job with `if: github.event_name != 'pull_request'` so it runs only
on push to `main` (post-merge), on `v*` tags, and on manual
`workflow_dispatch`. `RustFS S3 Integration` needs `test`, so it becomes
push-/dispatch-only by the same cascade.
Drop `Test Workspace` from the required-check list in
branch-protection.json: a required context that never reports on PRs (the
job no longer runs there) would leave every PR permanently pending — the
job-never-reports trap the policy already documents.
Trade-off accepted deliberately (chosen by the maintainer): a regression
the suite would catch now lands on `main` and reddens the post-merge run
instead of being blocked pre-merge, so `main` can briefly break. Mitigations
documented in ci.md: run `cargo test --workspace --locked` locally before
merging non-trivial changes (or trigger the workflow on your branch via
workflow_dispatch), and regenerate openapi.json locally for server/API
changes (the auto-regen step lived in the now-PR-skipped test job).
The fast PR gates remain: Classify Changes, Check AGENTS.md Links, the
AWS-feature build/test, and the two CODEOWNERS checks.
NOTE: an admin must run ./scripts/apply-branch-protection.sh after this
merges, or GitHub keeps requiring the now-unreported Test Workspace context.
