The workaround to have ofborg ping chromium and ungoogled-chromium maintainers when a change was only made to the upstream-info relied on string context. That string context was provided by the upstream-info being a nix file, not a json file, and then holding on to that string context using awkward attribute merges. It was intended as a quick fix until the handling of this would improve in ofborg itself and worked great. That was until very recently when we switched from the chromium release tarball to git source fetching in 8dd2f1a. Part of that change included going back from upstream-info.nix to upstream-info.json and with that losing the string context and the base on which this workaround used to work. But this is fine. A lot has happened in the meantime. CODEOWNERS was reimplemented and no longer requires every user listed in it to have write permissions to the repository (commit bit). Meaning we can accept that ofborg pings no longer work and instead rely on CODEOWNERS exclusively. It should, however, be noted that CODEOWNERS provide less granularity than ofborg, meaning we can no longer differentiate between ungoogled-chromium and chromium or even chromedriver. Previously, implementing the workaround that is now essentially reverted: 68c5979 (cherry picked from commit 674835a)
