The
reviewersfield independabot.ymlis being deprecated and will be removed soon. This PR migrates the repository to use the CODEOWNERS file for specifying reviewers on Dependabot PRs, as recommended by GitHub.Changes Made

Dependabot PRs will now automatically request @SIkebe as a reviewer through the CODEOWNERS mechanism instead of the deprecated reviewers field. This ensures continued functionality when GitHub removes support for the reviewers field.
The migration is backwards compatible and takes effect immediately - no additional configuration is required.
