I recently discovered that the CODEOWNERS format isn't exactly the same as gitignore; it's similar but has a difference in the handling of foo/* vs foo/ — the former only matches files and directories that are direct descendants, so foo/baz.c and foo/bar/ would match, but foo/bar/baz.c would not.
This is based on the logic described in their example:
# In this example, @doctocat owns any files in the build/logs
# directory at the root of the repository and any of its
# subdirectories.
/build/logs/ @doctocat
# The `docs/*` pattern will match files like
# `docs/getting-started.md` but not further nested files like
# `docs/build-app/troubleshooting.md`.
docs/* docs@example.com
