Improve your pull requests by auto-assigning reviewers and enforce reviews with Code Owners based merge checks
Adds Code Owners as reviewers to new pull requests automatically, but still gives the author flexibility to adapt, e.g. for work-in-progress pull requests. It also supports reviewer groups for easier maintenance.
Adds merge checks based on pull request approvals by Code Owners. Checks can be configured to be based on all Code Owners of a pull request, or per Code Owners group.
To assign Code Owners for a specific code area, put a file called CODEOWNERS in your repository with file patterns similar to .gitignore. And for monorepos, it supports multiple CODEOWNERS files within subdirectories.

More details
Code reviews are a valuable tool to share know-how and prevent bugs in successful projects. But finding the right reviewers can be a hassle. Code Owners to the rescue!
Code Owners are engineers who:
- are experts in a specific code area
- can give valuable feedback to other team members
- are interested that the code quality stays great
Introducing the concept of Code Owners, this app allows to:
- configure which groups or devs are Code Owners for each code area
- use this configuration to automatically assign reviewers
- enforce approvals Code Owners (Optional)
Configuration is simple, file-based, and low-maintenance:
- CODEOWNERS file (convention over configuration)
- pattern matching based on file names, similar to .gitignore
- ready to be versioned, eg. for auditing
Here's an example. All React.js components should be reviewed by the team "ReactGurus":
/src/components/**/*.js @@ReactGurus
Please check our getting started guide for more information.

Thank you for your feedback.
Would you mind reconsidering your review because all that is necessary to protect the CODEOWNERS file is to add a rule like follows?
CODEOWNERS @TeamLead
With this, a CODEOWNERS file can only get deleted if the responsible code owner (TeamLead) accepts the pull request.
Thanks,
Michael from Mibex Software


Thank you for your feedback.
Since your feedback, we have updated and improved our documentation a lot. Would you mind reconsidering your review?
We cannot see an issue in terms of security here because only users with permissions to the target branch of a pull request (e.g., "master") can change an existing code owners file without a pull request. So all that is necessary is the appropriate branch permissions in the Bitbucket repository configuration (which are necessary anyway) to not allow commits without code review.
Regarding your point about security: to prevent any developers from making changes to the Code Owners rules, just protect it by adding a rule like the following:
CODEOWNERS @TeamLead
The approvals of code owners are not separate from the approvals of normal pull request reviewers. So they count towards the number of approvals because code owners are also reviewers. But the app also provides its separate merge checks which are based solely either on individual code owners or groups of code owners. You can find them under Repository Settings -> Merge Checks -> Code Owners minimum approvals.
Please contact us via our support address if you have further issues or improvement ideas.
Best regards,
Michael from Mibex Software

Pricing FAQ
- How does server app pricing work?
Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. The app tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian product. For example, if you have a Confluence license for 500 users, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Atlassian product license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Can I install this app in a Data Center product?
Yes, this app has a Data Center approved version. If you're using a Data Center product, you should install the Data Center version of the app.
- What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?
Because this app has a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Data Center license for the app.
If you already own a server license for this app, you can continue using the server license in your Data Center product for a limited period of time.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?
For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.
Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:
- Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.
