Following our previous announcement, the Dependabot reviewers configuration option has been removed.

We’ve retired this configuration option because the functionality overlaps with GitHub code owners. You can use code owners to define individuals or teams responsible for code in a repository.

To move Dependabot reviewer assignments to code owners, follow the migration guide and tools in dependabot/codeowner-migration-action. This includes a GitHub Actions workflow, a command-line script, and step-by-step manual instructions.

For help or questions, see the migration action’s README or open a discussion in our Community discussion.
