Prevent CODEOWNERS pings for 'live' branch PRs

[guardrex]

@tdykstra @Rick-Anderson @wadepickett ... I think if the CODEOWNERS file isn't present on the live branch that GH will stop adding me as a reviewer for every Merge-to-Live PR that has a Blazor PR on it.

BTW - The CODEOWNERS system for Blazor PRs is working great, so I'm not remarking on its use for main. I'm happy with it there.

Can the CODEOWNERS file just be deleted from the live branch without it being regenerated?

[Rick-Anderson]

Where is it, I'll delete it.

I don't know if it's the right thing to do, except that I think the reason that pings are coming in from live is because the file is on the live branch. I think that's how it works. I don't know if removing the file from that branch will work ... just guessing 🤔. The file is here on the live branch ...

I don't see how deleting it from live can help -- I expect it'll just get added back with the next merge to live.

You might be right. It shouldn't hurt to delete it and see what happens. We can 🎲🎲 .......

Not sure if it will get added back if it doesn't change on main. It might stay gone until the next time it gets an update.
