Limitations / TODOs

• Doesn't read file comments such as // MANDATORY_REVIEWERS noah bob.
• Unhelpful error messages.
• Only supports git repos.
• Doesn't know who belongs to which team, which would allow a smarter pull request coverage algorithm.
• Doesn't work if OWNERS file contains information other than teams and usernames.
