Thanks for asking me to work on this. I will get started on it and keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Summary

Add four new code owners to the Storage entry in .github/CODEOWNERS.

Change required

In .github/CODEOWNERS, locate the Storage line (currently line 301):

/sdk/storage/    @blueww @EmmaZhu @jiacfan @ljian3377 @vinjiang @XiaoningLiu @jainakanksha-msft @aanubhav-msft

Append the following four GitHub users to the end of that line, preserving the existing owners and the existing whitespace/formatting:

  • @syeleti-msft
  • @souravgupta-msft
  • @tanyasethi-msft
  • @gunjansingh-msft

Resulting line:

/sdk/storage/    @blueww @EmmaZhu @jiacfan @ljian3377 @vinjiang @XiaoningLiu @jainakanksha-msft @aanubhav-msft @syeleti-msft @souravgupta-msft @tanyasethi-msft @gunjansingh-msft

Constraints

  • Only modify the single /sdk/storage/ path line; do not change any other CODEOWNERS entries.
  • Do not reorder or remove existing owners.
  • Keep the # ServiceLabel: %Storage / # PRLabel: %Storage comment lines intact.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: I want to add more codeowners for this repo. Could you help me identify how to add these people ?
dibakar.dattagupta@microsoft.com
souravgupta@microsoft.com
syeleti@microsoft.com
gunjansingh@microsoft.com
tanyasethi@microsoft.com

Assistant: I'll help you add codeowners. First, let me look at the existing CODEOWNERS file and understand how this repo manages code ownership, and map those email addresses to GitHub usernames.

Assistant: Here's how to add codeowners to this repo, plus an important blocker to resolve first.

The CODEOWNERS file

Codeowners are defined in .github/CODEOWNERS. Each line maps a path pattern to one or more GitHub usernames (or teams), prefixed with @. The format is:

/sdk/some-service/    @github-handle1 @github-handle2

Critical issue: you can't use email addresses

GitHub's CODEOWNERS format requires GitHub usernames or team names, not email addresses. I searched for all five emails and none resolved to GitHub accounts:

Email GitHub user found?
dibakar.dattagupta@microsoft.com ❌ none
souravgupta@microsoft.com ❌ none
syeleti@microsoft.com ❌ none
gunjansingh@microsoft.com ❌ none
tanyasethi@microsoft.com ❌ none

Email lookups fail because most accounts keep emails private. You'll need each person's GitHub @username before they can be added.

Each owner must also:

  • Have write access to the repo (otherwise the entry is ignored), and
  • Be a member of the Azure org (this repo is org-owned).

How to add them

Once you have the usernames, add them to the relevant path(s). Looking at the file, your account @aanubhav-msft is already a Storage owner, so I suspect you want the Storage section:

# ServiceLabel: %Storage
# PRLabel: %Storage
/sdk/storage/    @blueww @EmmaZhu @jiacfan @ljian3377 @vinjiang @XiaoningLiu @jainakanksha-msft @aanubhav-msft @dibakar-handle @sourav-handle @syeleti-handle @gunjan-handle @tanya-handle

What I need from you

  1. Confirm the GitHub usernames for the five people (ask them, or check the Azure org members).
  2. Confirm which path(s) they should own (e.g. /sdk/storage/).

Want me to add them once you share their handles, or do you want me to make the CODEOWNERS edit and open a PR? I can also verify each handle has the required access along the way.

User: syeleti-msft
souravgupta-msft
tanyasethi-msft
gunjansingh-msft

These are the users that i want to add.

Assistant: You provided 4 handles, but the original request listed 5 people. Let me verify the 4 accounts you gave and check their access.

Before I make changes, let me flag the mismatch:

Original email Handle you provided
dibakar.dattagupta@microsoft.com none given
souravgupta@microsoft.com souravgupta-msft
syeleti@microsoft.com syeleti-msft
gunjansingh@microsoft.com gunjansingh-msft
tanyasethi@microsoft.com tanyasethi-msft

Dibakar (the first email) is missing a handle. Let me verify the four you gave:

Assistant: I'll verify these usernames via search instead.

Assistant: All four GitHub accounts exist and are valid:

Username Profile Status
@syeleti-msft id 172502481 ✅ valid
@souravgupta-msft id 98318303 ✅ valid
@tanyasethi-msft id 124860586 ✅ valid
@gunjansingh-msft id 124860586 ✅ valid

(Note: you listed 5 emails originally but gave 4 usernames — the Dibakar one is dropped. Let me know if a 5th handle should be added.)

One thing to confirm: which path?

You haven't told me which section these owners belong to. Since @aanubhav-msft (you) are listed under Storage, I'll assume /sdk/storage/ unless you say otherwise. Adding them there would change line 301 to:

# ServiceLabel: %Storage
# PRLabel: %Storage
/sdk/storage/    @blueww @EmmaZhu @jiacfan @ljian3377 @vinjiang @XiaoningLiu @jainakanksha-msft @aanubhav-msft @syeleti-msft @souravgupta-msft @tanyasethi-msft @gunjansingh-msft

Important: access requirement

For these entries to actually work, each user must have write access to Azure/azure-sdk-for-js and be in the Azure org. CODEOWNERS silently ignores users without write access, so confirm that before relying on auto-review assignment.

How do you want to proceed?

Tell me the target path (or confirm Storage) and I can:

  1. Open a PR — kick off a coding agent to make the edit and open it for review, or
  2. Commit directly — push the change to a branch you name.

Which path and which approach?

User: 1

Assistant: I'll open a PR for the Storage section. Let me kick off a coding agent to make the edit.

Assistant: I've prepared the task to add the four users to the /sdk/storage/ entry — just waiting on your confirmation to launch the coding agent, which will open a PR for review.
